Poor Wednesday, yet another unexpected casualty of the pronunciation wars.
Edit: that link even says it “Wensday” so I’m still at a loss for who is saying “Wendsday” haha, can’t decide if I care enough to take this to UKCasual or not. Eh…who am I kidding I’m way too lazy for that.
Ah, I get what you mean now. I saw “wendsday” and read it as two syllables, basically the same as “wensday”.
I think OP may have been going for a brief s sound between the two syllables - “wend-s-day”, which could be three syllables if you take your time with it 😄
Ah, I can see how being from the NE could account for that, but that’s certainly not typical.
I can vouch for the fact that southerners of every social class pronounce it with two syllables, not three. Like this.
I also quickly checked on YouTube, and all the videos I saw for US pronunciation also use two.
