Written in the `m-dd-yy` or `dd-m-yy` formats, today is 2-22-22 or 22-2-22, - which is a neat little palindrome in either format. (The last ubiquitous - six-digit palindrome was 1-11-11.) -2. Today is Tuesday, which is why everyone is using the nickname Twosday to call - out these similarities. -3. Falling on Tuesday means today is the 2nd day of the week (for most cultures. - For the US, it's the 3rd day of the week since we start on Sunday). -4. The only culture I could find with a connection to a `2` is that some Slavic - languages derived their version of Tuesday from the Old Church Slavonic word - `въторъ`, meaning "the second." -5. Written in the classic monospaced, digital font (think of digital clocks from - the 80s/90s), there is nice symmetry to the numbers ([view the image - here](https://img.cleberg.net/blog/20220222-tuesday/digital_font.png)!). -6. This one isn't naturally-occurring, but it seems people around the world are - celebrating the day. For example, a group is putting together [a wedding of - 222 couples at the California State Capitol in - Sacramento](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2-22-22-a-collective-wedding-ceremony-at-the-state-capitol-tickets-211434605597), - concluding at exactly 2:22 PM. These couples will record their marriage dates - as 2-22-22 2:22 PM. Tickets were on sale for $222.22. |
