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

    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.

      Ah, I get what you mean now. I saw “wendsday” and read it as two syllables, basically the same as “wensday”.

      I think OP may have been going for a brief s sound between the two syllables - “wend-s-day”, which could be three syllables if you take your time with it 😄

      I think I get why you’re confused because “wendsday” could be just another way to spell “wensday”.

      I think OP was going for a slight pause between the two syllables, like “wend-s-day”, or something like that, which could be three syllables if you really take your time with it 😄
