While you are still choosing the topic for the next event, I'd like to talk a little bit about Сapitalizing Names of Weekdays and Months 🔤 In English grammar, they consider months and weekdays specific things, so they are proper nouns (имена собственные), and they capitalize (пишут с большой буквы) them. 🔤 It doesn't matter if it's at the beginning, the middle, or the end of a sentence. Our next event will be on Sunday in April. 🔤 When you shorten days and months (Mon. or Fri. / Jan. or Sep.), you still capitalize them because they remain proper nouns. 🔤 The idea has historical context. Many months are named after Roman gods or leaders (e.g., January for Janus, July for Julius Caesar), strengthening their status as proper nouns. 🔤 Unlike months, seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter) are treated as common nouns in English and are generally not capitalized Bonus: There is a rhyme to help you remember the number of days in each month:
Thirty days has September,
April, June, and November.
All the rest have thirty-one,
Except February, twenty-eight days clear,
And twenty-nine in each leap year. They just don't know that you can use knuckles for that 😜 Do you know?
