English speaking people cannot plan for more than one day :)

Because don't even have a special word for a day coming after tomorrow. Every other language have one: Russian have poslezavtra(and after that - posleposlezavtra), German - ubermorgan, French surlendemain, and so on. So it's easy to conclude that Englishmen just never thought of inventing this one, because they're unable to think so faraway! ;).

While other nations simply have to remember one word, we Americans must remember the whole phrase "day after tomorrow". This is not easy, and in addition to increasing our memory, it also increases our brain-span.

Therefore...




...whatever. :?

:P
