AS THERE IS NOW NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANY OF THE DAYS, I AM ELIMINATING THE WORDS "MONDAY," "TUESDAY," "WEDNESDAY," "THURSDAY," "FRIDAY," "SATURDAY," AND "SUNDAY."
INSTEAD, WE WILL NOW JUST CALL EVERY DAY "DAYDAY."
FOR EXAMPLE, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEXT DAYDAY?"
"OH, THE THING I DID LAST DAYDAY."
I HATE DAYDAYS.
