Day of the week vs Day of week

Post by Thomasusmon »

Hello. I'm an IT tester and we have "Day of week" in our software. Should it always be Day of the week? Or are there any exeptions? This case is just name of a tab that has Days of the week X Figures in it.

Thanks for advice!

'Day of the week' would indeed be standard English, but note that articles are often abbreviated even by natives for space-spacing purposes.
