It seems to me this is not even specific to Western culture, but only to Anglo-Saxon one, where there are wages paid weekly.
Even then, only some places pay weekly. Some places pay twice a month, once a month, or every two weeks. Occasionally, One finds Workers paid daily.
Considering all this, I wonder: we have local major money units (rupnu), local length units (gutci), local area units (kramu), but time is measured in minutes, hours, days (OK, this is no surprise), 7-day weeks and 1/12-of-the-year months. Why?
I realized I may have spending too much time on facebook when I started looking around for the 'like' button to mark this observation. ;-)
