    Note

    A short form that does both jobs of the full word. It can name the day itself, and it can stand in for informal US and Canadian adverbial Thursday, which drops the "on": a flight departs Thu just as it departs Thursday. Its plural is spelled Thus, identical to the everyday adverb thus, so "on Thursdays" is clearer written out in full.
