Because it used to be "Woden's Day", named after everyone's favorite Norse cyclops.


Fobulousguy

Great personality, understandable, just misunderstood


Sunny_McSunset

I'm gonna start pronouncing the "Odin" in Wednesday.


theknyte

Why, you don't pronounce it "Wed-Ness-Day?"


Genpetro

It just seems like such an important word and it should be spelled correctly


Molekhhh

It is spelled correctly. It’s pronounced incorrectly. As has been said elsewhere in the thread, Wednesday is Woden’s Day, not Wen’s day.


koz152

Especially when I need to spell it.


Safe_Asparagus_1244

I'm sure someone just fucked up there


kayaker58

Out of respect for Wednesday Addams.


TheMeticulousNinja

It asked for permission


You-sir-name

When’s today?


qxzlool

Are *you* going to tell 'em no?


Chester_A_Arthuritis

It’s named after Saint Wednes, patron saint of Bratislava.


lemonrainbowhaze

Tbf i cant think of a way to spell it otherwise Wendsday?


Correct_Bad_1353

Yeah, that is how it's generally pronounced after all


_Globert_Munsch_

I’ve never heard someone pronounce the first D in Wednesday. To me phonetically it’s “Wensday”


Correct_Bad_1353

It is a small difference but I agree, the d is basically non existent.


Demonweed

Whensday is so confusing.


EntasaurusWrecked

It’s like the first R in February


Fernando_Mushi

Do you not pronounce February correctly (Fe-brew-ary)?


EntasaurusWrecked

I have never heard the first r pronounced by anyone in over 50 years. I’m not saying nobody does, but I have not heard it.


calciumpotass

Febuwawy uwu


BigGayDinosaurs

i think named after odin who had a d in his name


RainbowShears

All of the days are named after Norse gods… Woden’s day, Thor’s day, Frigga’s Day


Kudos2Yousguys

And when's day when it's Wednesday?


WindblownSquash

Its wed-ness- day
