Rabbi Menachem Greenblatt (St. Louis, Missouri) mentioned at s'uda sh'lishis (Shabas parashas "Ki Setze" 5772) that the correct name for Sunday is echad b(a?)shabas, as is written in k'suvos and gitin (see Shulchan Aruch, Even Haezer 126:3), even though the other days are referred to with ordinals (sheni et al.), and wondered aloud in passing why we say in the introduction to the shir shel yom "hayom yom rishon" and not "echad". Anyone have a reason (preferably sourced)?
