And yeah, Mai is Mai... is May, I mean.

Okay, thanks. My favorite thing about the days of the week is that every day ends in "Tag" except "Mittwoch", I mean it's just kind of there and there is no explanation why (that I have found). In English every day of ths week ends in "day" it just makes sense, we don't have any day that doesn't end in "day". I don't know.
