Happy Presidents' Year!

Monday is Presidents' Day. Many of you won't have to work or go to school. A few of you might actually participate in an event that honors one or more U.S. Presidents. And two of you are moving to a neighborhood I've never heard of.

Now, I can readily accept someone referring to "Presidents' Day Weekend." We are fond of three-day weekends. But I keep seeing ads that mention Presidents' Week. And today I heard a car commercial talking about Presidents' Month. No no no no no no no. First of all, a very prominent group already has dibs on February. But also, I assure you, Presidents' Day is one day long. On Tuesday, mail a letter. Enter a bank. You will succeed. Though perhaps not in Bangladesh, where it is Shaheed Day.
