34. Actually, I have always pronounced it "Wensday" here in WI.
The "h" is silent.

21. "i" in the middle? Why would anyone say it that way, when there's an "e"? It's "Wen(d)z-day."

25. I think it's a southern dialect thing, in my case.
I've never really given it much thought... I pronounce "end" like "ind" (not "ehnd"), enter like "inter", etc.

31. If you're a New Englander, it's "Wensdee." Just like Mundee, Toosdee,
Thursdee, Fridee, Sattidee, and Sundee.

35. Whenzdae. (Seriously).
I tried to vote for your 'winz-day' option,
so as to not make trouble....
but I just couldn't do it, because that's
really not how it sounds when I say it.

It's just not an "i" sound there.

45. The Day of the One-Eyed All Seeing Odin, Father, Uniter of the Æsir-Vanir, creator of MIdgard
But then, I'm a traditionalist. I still use a fountain pen. I don't like modern things like "Wednesday".

48. Po'akolu (poe ah-COE-loo)
literally "third night"; the Hawaiian calendar was not divided into 7-day weeks but into 10-day periods, so they had to improvise when the haoles stopped by.
