One Week Should Mean 7 Days

Here is something that I find a little bit annoying: when you click to simulate next week, it doesn't simulate seven days, only until the following Monday. I do not think that this should be high on the list to fix

It says "Auto-Play Until..." and the option you are choosing is then "...Next Week".

The word "until" is an important piece of that.

Monday is the start of the next week so it is functioning as it is worded.

You also have the option of choosing a specific date to sim to if you prefer.

Funny. Don't most calendars have the week starting with Sunday?

Not mine. I think that’s a vestige of a society linked to a particular religious view. Which is weird, because Sunday is the seventh day (not the first) in the Bible. So I guess the secular week begins on Monday.

The clue is also in the term "weekend". Which includes Sunday. And is the end of the week. Not the start.

For a long time I wished you could set it to sim x days at a time, every time. Well, you can, by selecting the exact date you want to sim to, but my way would have been faster.

Huh, I just looked it up and you're right. I thought you must have been wrong because why would you "rest" on the first day of a week instead of the "last" day? It seems like that would set a bad example. But apparently it goes back to the Hebrew calendar and in theirs the Sabbath is on Saturday. I always thought I was a bit weird for feeling like weeks start on Mondays.
