Wednesday is spelled dumb. It’s should be Wensday, or even Wendsday if we’re going for unnecessarily complicated English.

    Really? Where exactly are you from?

    I’m from southern England and I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone pronounce it with three syllables instead of two.

      North East, so in my case it’s more like “wed’nsdeh”, but my southern friends do three syllables too. Then again my southern friends are mostly posh so that might be why lol. Still can’t figure out how you pronounce “dsd” but I’ll be keeping an ear out in future southern interactions!

        Ah, I can see how being from the NE could account for that, but that’s certainly not typical.

        I can vouch for the fact that southerners of every social class pronounce it with two syllables, not three. Like this.

        I also quickly checked on YouTube, and all the videos I saw for US pronunciation also use two.

          Poor Wednesday, yet another unexpected casualty of the pronunciation wars.

          Edit: that link even says it “Wensday” so I’m still at a loss for who is saying “Wendsday” haha, can’t decide if I care enough to take this to UKCasual or not. Eh…who am I kidding I’m way too lazy for that.
