Hi Torsten,

I would definitely go for the contracted form although I have heard people give it the full monty - but that's overdoing it!

I say, "Wensday". But When I was starting to learn English, I said Wednsday

Hi Torsten
I say wensday,but when i want to write it always i forget the letter d,i write how i pronounce wensday instead of wednsday.
Bye bye

And what about /wenzdi/ option ;)

[OxfordBlues]

I've seen this word discussed elsewhere among native speakers and a third option seems to be very common (it's my pronunciation as well), and that is one in which the d is pronounced, but the d and n are transposed resulting in 'wendzday'.

Do you say 'wensday' or 'wednsday'?

[JamesNL]

Oh well, Torsten , just to be different .. I pronounce it Wedn*i*sday with a very weak ' i ' in the middle syllable. But then I'm Scottish :-))

By the way, is it possible to test a message on the voice-recorder before launching it onto the Forums ?
