Trips to Italy are always quite an ego boost for me. Here in Barcelona people usually either look down on me or stare with an annoyed look (just another obese puto guiri) but in Italy I'm treated with respect and not as the most hideous reptile with a thick (I wish!) wallet.

Italian is a bit of an outlier among the major Romance languages.
Spanish has 'escuela', Portuguese has 'escola', French has 'école' - all starting with a vowel - but in Italian it's 'scuola'.
Did it never get a vowel?
It sure did: Old Italian had 'iscuola'!
Here's the story of this little vowel:

Here's an image I made showing where the names of the weekdays come from.
The 7 day week was introduced to Germanic people by the Romans, and so Germanic speakers mostly just replaced the Latin names of Germanic equivalents.
