No!!! That would make way too much sense for these language prudes… \s
wy dont yu fall on yor sord? huh?
What do u mean we can’t spell it, I have been doing it my whole life.
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.
It is probably accent dependent. Where I live people pronounce it like “weddinsday”
Yes? “Day” is not pronounced “dee” AFAIK.
I think a lot of Brits pronounce it that way
When I say “day” or “today” I pronounce it fully, but when saying the names in conversation, it’s more like “I’ll see you Tuesdy at noon.”
Judging by reactions, it’s just, maybe SoCal? Or maybe just me.
I’m not sure which section of SoCal you’re referring to, but SD’s about as South as one can get before TJ and everyone here seems to pronounce it “tūzdā” not “tūzdi”. 😅🤷🏽♂️
Might’ve evolved like that eventually if we hadn’t stopped writing and type-setting by hand instead of using magical misspelling detection machines with strict spelling rules.
Midweek is superior anyway.
I mean, spellings of words change all the time. Hell, when I was in school you’d lose points on papers for spelling “doughnut” as “donut”, but now that shorter version is concidered a correct spelling and is no longer tagged by spell check.
We as a society can literally will this spelling to be concidered correct through shear usage.
Heehee concidered and shear. You literally made me go back and spellcheck your whole comment in case I’d missed more.
I have never been a good speller, and this app nor my phones keyboard do spellchecking.
Well I thought the joke I assumed you were making was a good fit for your point, which I agree with btw. Spellcheck wouldn’t catch “shear” anyway, that’s the cutting one.
The see-through one has ee.
Why “sheer” is also the one you meant, meaning utter or complete, I don’t know.
English.
And though, through, thought, thorough, throughout should be thoh, throo, thort, thuruh, throoawt.
Funetic speling roolz. Or maybe not. Dunno.
because in english you have “silent letters” letters that you write but dont say.
they are unnecessary, please improve the language.
the language is fine, the spelling just needs updating. which is easy, we just pick a dialect of english and base it on that.
which dialect? well, how about indian english. that seems fair.
NO U
English is the imperial system of phonetics (well, French is worse)
My brain would also like to propose a new spelling+pronunciation for “remember”: rember
I disagree, I think it should be rememember.
Or at least streamline “forget”: dismember
You’re gonna upset Woden with this kind of blasphemy.
Sounds good dood
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
What happened to wensday :1 and :2?
English tends to be very etymological with its spelling but i support people simplifying it tbh
Not sáing ðat ú kant mák úr ón ryting sistem for Inglix end úz it
And here I was about to propose a nightsday but whatever I’ll take it.
I am fine with “when’s day” as long as we rename the following day as “then’s day” instead of “their’s day”.
When’s day?
Every day.
Tween sunup and sundown
