Kat Stevens said:Errrr, why? Friday is an ancient Saxon word....remember, the original English speakers? Where our language came from... C'mon, you remember... England! That's why it's called "English", not " American" (yet).
Cdn Blackshirt said:It's not Saxon. It's Norse. Friday is named for the Norse Goddess "Freya" who was Odin's wife and the Goddess of Fertility.
That naming convention as well as the other days started with Latin names for Latin Gods and eventually were converted to local language and local God's.
Examples:
Venus's Day became Freya's Day became Friday.
Jupiter's Day became Thor's Day became Thursday.
Etc.

P.S. Does anyone know where I can get the red hat Cherry had on the other night?
sabot60, any Canex or MFRC should have them in stock. Trenton, Kingston, and Borden are close to you. So, if you're ever in the area, drop in. The Canex also has loads of "Roots" shorts and t-shirts with supportive logos on them. Anyone, isn't there a Canex in TO? sabot60, If you're unable to get to a base, PM someone and hve them send you something.sabot60 said:If someone knows where to get the yellow or camo ribbon. As an ex-serviceman living in the Greater Toronto Area I've seen the yellow and camo ribbons around Toronto quite a bit. Just don't know where to get them. The comment about not knowing what the ribbbon is for in the Toronto area isn't warranted. True we have a diverse culture but you'd be amazed at how many people support the troops. We need to publicize how to get the ribbons.
This shouldn't be a bloody mystery on how to get it.
