Why can't we just pronounce it "wed-nes-day"?

Because it’s Odin’s day (sometimes spelled Woedin’s day)

Wendsday

Be the change you want to see in the world. Languages are meant to be fluid evolving constructs anyway.

Is it Feb-ruary or Feb-uary? Because I prefer -uary, and what is this "ru"?

It's the day you marry your Nintendo

Because the god Wotan would get mad.

And that's a god you don't want mad at you.

TIL I have no idea how to spell months

Why can't we just pronounce it Wodan's Day?

It comes from Wōdnesdæg, for the Germanic god Woden, aka Odin. I prefer Odin's Day myself.

We should hold a vote to decide the spelling we can hold it next chewsday.

My brain would also like to propose a new spelling+pronunciation for "remember": rember

You’re gonna upset Woden with this kind of blasphemy.

When's day?

you can, and you should

english has no authority that regulates the language, it’s up to us to do the spelling reforms

i spell it wensday :3

English is the imperial system of phonetics (well, French is worse)

I am fine with “when’s day” as long as we rename the following day as “then’s day” instead of “their’s day”.

And though, through, thought, thorough, throughout should be thoh, throo, thort, thuruh, throoawt.

Funetic speling roolz. Or maybe not. Dunno.

What do u mean we can't spell it, I have been doing it my whole life.

Sounds good dood

No!!!!! That would make way too much sense for these language prudes..... \s

wy dont yu fall on yor sord? huh?

Maybe we should spell it: D-A-Y-O-F-W-I-N-D ?

And here I was about to propose a nightsday but whatever I’ll take it.

Wensdy.

Are the rest of you out there really pronouncing the a in the days? Even in sentences? The only time I hear myself do it is if I'm listing them and paying attention. Might just be me though.
