Written in the =m-dd-yy= or =dd-m-yy= formats, today is 2-22-22 or - 22-2-22, which is a neat little palindrome in either format. (The - last ubiquitous six-digit palindrome was 1-11-11.) -2. Today is Tuesday, which is why everyone is using the nickname Twosday - to call out these similarities. -3. Falling on Tuesday means today is the 2nd day of the week (for most - cultures. For the US, it's the 3rd day of the week since we start on - Sunday). -4. The only culture I could find with a connection to a =2= is that some - Slavic languages derived their version of Tuesday from the Old Church - Slavonic word =въторъ=, meaning "the second." -5.
