I strongly object to the use of the letter "R" to designate Thursday.

What's wrong with H? I thought that was the norm. R should be reserved for Pirate Day.

Yeah, I hate the "U/R" convention. "U/H" is almost equally bad. I prefer "T/Th" or "Tu/Th", and I'm willing to accept T and either theta or thorn, though those feel too clever for their own good. I hadn't thought of thorn before, and it does have the advantage over theta of being more integral to the language somehow, even though theta is more familiar.

Admission of dumbness: what is thorn?

PS I've always been perfectly happy with Tu/Th.
What, they can't afford the extra ink it takes to print one extra letter?

I totally agree. I never had a problem with T/Th and S/Su...

I actually like R better than θ, it's nice to have all the abbreviations from the same alphabet. Tu/Th is fine but if you want one-letter abbreviations I don't know why T/T isn't allowed if S/S is.
