also, how about "wednesday"? i say 'winds-day', but it's always bothered me b/c it seems it should be pronounced something more like weddin'-s[t]ay. any thoughts?
Oh yes, its Wends day, (just as a brook might wend its way through a glenn) --until i go to write it-- then its Wed nes day...it this (ok, i have been told twice, but i still don't remember the term--) like brid --> Bird and pretty-->purty, and ask --> ax? Wednes became Wends?
and can you say it quickly--- before you think! Saturday
is it Sat'r day? Or Satur day? or Sat-her day? with no space in the Sat-her but a definate t at the end of Sat and an H before the (schwa)R? i think i say the last one..
it drives me crazy-- once we start talking about how we say things... because i tend to slip into a hyper correction... Often is a hyper correction..(i think!) it should be offen.
