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

    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.
