AFAIK
the Babylonians counted days from morning's dawn to mornings, the Romans from midnight to midnight, and the Hebrews from evening's dusk to dusk.
Well, I was wrong then. I've learned something new today!
Just my opinion, of course, but this 7-day-week issue totally undercuts YECism.
I completely agree. My personal example of this is like walking into a bank with a dubious-looking cheque, going to great lengths to prove that it is legit, and then not cashing the cheque in at all.
YECism goes nuts whenever someone accuses the Scriptures of being untrue, or even being mythical, and yet it throws out the baby with the bathwater so that AiG won't even say anything about the Sabbath other than that it supports the creation account - which completely ignores the fact that the creation account quite obviously supports the Sabbath as well, and in fact that is the more obvious and important relationship than the first. Note that the Bible's conclusion is always "the creation week, therefore the Sabbath" - "the Sabbath commandment, which by the by I won't commit myself to saying anything else about, therefore the creation week" to me seems to be an entirely modern invention.
This really dents YEC's credibility in my eyes.
