What lines in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet suggest what day of the week it is?

Paris tells Lord Capulet that it is Monday on the day that he arranges Juliet’s marriage.


The events of the play take place very quickly.  The entire play actually only takes place over the course of a few days, sadly.  Romeo and Juliet meet, marry, consummate the marriage, and die within a few days.  When the play opens, Juliet is going to be fourteen in a “fortnight and odd days” (a little over two weeks) (Act 1, Scene 3).  She doesn’t make it to that birthday. 


The day that Capulet talks to Paris is Monday. 



And bid her, mark you me, on Wednesday next--
But, soft! what day is this?


PARIS


Monday, my lord,


CAPULET


Monday! ha, ha! Well, Wednesday is too soon,
O' Thursday let it be: o' Thursday, tell her,
She shall be married to this noble earl. (Act 3, Scene 4) 



Juliet does agree to marry Paris on Wednesday, although she does not want to, but instead she is buried on that day.  She arranges with Friar Laurence to fake her death and takes a special potion.  Her parents had no idea that she was actually wed the day before to Romeo.  They thought she was available when they forced her to marry Paris.


A lot happens very quickly.  Romeo and Juliet were secretly married, Romeo killed Tybalt, Romeo was banished, Romeo and Juliet consummated the marriage, and Lord Capulet arranged Juliet’s marriage to Paris.  That is where you get the makings of a tragedy.  Haste makes waste.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
