Twosday

My son pointed out to me that despite today (2-2-22) being Wednesday (and in fact, on a deeper level, because of today being Wednesday), twenty days from now on two occasions (AM and PM) it will be 2:22.22 on 22-2-2022 (or depending on the conventions you adopt, 2-22-2022), and if you use the 24-hour clock, 22:22.22, on that same day, which happens to be a Twosday. (Who knows what will happen in that regard two hundred years from then; I’m two lazy two calculate.)
.
Seriously, I wonder if anybody in whose mind Monday is the first day of the (work)week thinks Tuesday really is Two’sday or even Twos’day?
