Why isn't "Wednesday" spelled "Wensday"? Why do we pronounce it like that?

@SW-User You mean you pronounce it as we spell it? "Wed-nes-day"? I've never heard anybody pronounce it like that.

@Crazychick More like Wed-n's-day, but yeah 😌

@SW-User I've never heard anybody pronounce the "d" in it. It's silent.

@Crazychick Not in my book it isn't, lol. Same for many others. It is not universally accepted as being silent in England.

@SW-User It is around my area.

@SW-User northerner?

@Gangstress Mebbe 🤭

@SW-User I say it exactly the way you do lol

@Gangstress I'm a Northerner and everybody I know says "Wensday". Only posh people pronounce that "d" that the rest of us squeeze out.

@Crazychick I defo say it wed ns day, really quick though so commoners don't notice

@Gangstress Commoners? Who are you, Margaret Thatcher? Lol :)

@Crazychick burn that cunt

@Gangstress She's already dead. She thankfully kicked the bucket about 7 years ago.

@Crazychick good riddance lol bang bang the witch is dead

@Gangstress That's what we all said at the time. Lol :)
