Ok another US local units are retarded rant: it's called weekEND! why do you start your week at sunday and not monday! Sunday is part of the weekEND!
If you're referring to an "end" of an object, it can refer to the extreme of a side of it. For example, aglets are at either end of a shoelace.
I'm refering to end in a temporal sense because we are talking about a time context here. There is a clear direction so going backwards brings you to the begin.
I'm English, not American but I see it as Saturday and Sunday are the two ends of the week. Like how a string has two ends. The weekend is both the start and the finishing end of the week.
So, when someone asks if you are free the next two weekends, you assume they're talking about the next Saturday (tail weekend) and the next Sunday (front weekend)?
No, the two ends of a week create a singular weekend.
Just like the two ends of a string create a singular string end.
I've never understood string physics.
since we are in a temporal context here i would argue that there is a clear distrinction between beginning and end here
End doesn't always have to be the latter side of something though like I said earlier with the string analogy. The start is also an end.
