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

@hippyjoe1955 Yes, but that's Woden's day with an "o", not Weden's day with an "e".

@Crazychick Yes pronunciations change over time. I still say Wednesday with the D sound.

@hippyjoe1955 I don't know anyone who does.

@Crazychick The problem is that in the past spelling was much more fluid than it is at present. The advent of the printing press kind of made spelling much more fixed than previous. Thus we see the spelling reflect the then pronunciation of Wednesday rather than the old pronunciation of Woden's Day. But now more and more people are saying Wensday instead of Wednesday the spelling doesn't match. Similar to February where few people sound out the first R in the word.
