We abbreviate days of the week to three letters even though only two letters are required for uniqueness. Mon/Tue/Wed feel more "natural" to me than Mo/Tu/We, but is that just due to familiarity?
Hmm, maybe the three-letter abbreviation is less standard than I thought. I also see plenty of variants with "Tues" and "Thurs." That *kinda* makes sense, because it's like you dropped "day" from each name...except no one abbreviates Wednesday to "Wednes!"
Oh, I think I get it: It's using the first *syllable*. Hence why Saturday, like Wednesday, becomes "Sat" and not "Satur."
Interesting that we don't do the same with the names of months, instead preferring the three-letter abbreviations. Using the first syllable would sound weird: Jan Feb March Ap May June Jul Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec.
Japanese has a lovy method of just slamming characters (and 2-syllable pronunciations) together 月火水 - gekkasui - M/Tu/W 月水金 - gessuikin - M/W/F
