I don't think I know anyone who prenounces it Wed nes day it's always been Wed ens day to me . So why do we persist with it? I say we get a campaign together to get it changed to 'Wedensday'.

Odin's day to us in the far right community Findlay, or Wotan's day for the real bammers.
That said, I take your point and you have my undying support.
On a related note, in a recent idle moment the bottom fell out of my world when I realised that we should really choose between how Edinburgh is spelled and pronounced.

I am quite well travelled (UK wise) and I reckon the pronunciation most used is "Wensday". I have never used any other pronunciation although Mrs Wishbone has always said "Wedensday".

Edinbruh - which is how I'd spell what I think you mean - is how it is pronounced by basically everyone I have met, from paupers to princes. Some of the latter may occasionally opt for Edinburuh. Even setting aside the silent g, neither correspond to Edinburgh.
Yes weegie as fuck
And what about sixth? Loads say sickth,
It’s the pronunciation of digital as ‘digical’ and nuclear as nyoo-cyoo-lur that irks me.
Probably should be on the Little Things That Annoy You thread

Here's one. The people who say "particularly" a lot are weather presenters. Try to find one, especially female who doesn't say "ticuly"It’s the pronunciation of digital as ‘digical’ and nuclear as nyoo-cyoo-lur that irks me.

The wee ones lego reminded me this morning, I often pronounce 'ouch' as 'OHYAFUCKINGKUNT'
Really need to work on that.

This takes me back to a conversation I had with an American guy in the pub.
He pronounced it Edinbro [as most Americans would]. I told him it was Edinburgh so he tried it snd couldn'tget.
I tried to help by splitting the word up ;
It went -
Say Ed [Ed he repeated]
Say in [in he said]
Say burr [burr]
Now say Uh [Uh went well]
All was going smoothly until he put them all together, forgot the mini lesson, and reverted to Edinbro. We had a laugh about it though.

Is it only the Kirkcaldy calendar that doesn’t have September?
