Brazil!

Monday is called "Segunda" wich means "second" and every weekday follows this. So the Nth day of the week is called Nth except weekends

Yeah well, it's called october but I still think of it as the tenth month 😬

I always think of segunda-feira as the first day of the week, despite the name; though it appears that calendars here start on Sunday (something I've never noticed).

While it is the first day of the work week, it makes more sense to think of it as the second day in Portuguese so the naming stays consistent.
