WeDnesday, do we really need the "D"?

We're not supposed to pronounce the "D?" Great! I suppose somebody's gonna tell me that we're NOT supposed to pronounce the "k" in KNEE either!

I think the English language should get rid of ALL silent letters. Is it a SORD, or a SWORD? When kids are taught spelling in early elementary school, teachers tell the kids to sound out the word. Um, and people wonder why so many kids turn out crazy, like me!

I thought Wednesday was Hump Day not Need the D Wednesday

Huuuuuuuuuuuuump Daaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

yes, but there are at least a hundred other words you could say that about. Like cough would be easier to spell as coff.

not exactly

bu the root of teh name "Wednesday" is Weden's day, and Weden was teh Anglo Saxon version of the Norse god Odin

Tuesday, Thursday and Friday were also named for the Anglo Saxon version of other Norse deities

Monday to worship the moon

Sunday to Worship the sun

and saturday for the Roma God Saturn

Yes

I don't now I guess its just a silent letter but really to me it seems pointless cause Wednesday should be written how it is pronounced Wenesday

I thought your question said something else, I was getting worried.. But nope I'd say we don't need the D in Wednesday but it's just like we don't really need the P in psychic really..

Naw I really don't think we need the D in Wednesday

Well, 'beatle fanatic', would we then drop the A and the final E in beatle since we don't actually pronounce them? I pronounce the D in Wednesday just to annoy people.

SCHEDULE

Do you say 'shehdule' or pronounce it 'skedoolie'?
