Setting zirdei to Tuesday because that's your favorite color and birthdate is 
like making a gismu for "smoot". Lots of distances all over the world are 
measured in meters. Many distances (largely in the air) are measured in feet. 
Only one thing (a certain bridge) is measured in smoots.

Both of us agree that the first day is Sunday (and that, for religious 
purposes, the week starts at the previous sunset), so I'm going to enter them 
with xundei being Sunday.
