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.
