Wensdy.

Are the rest of you out there really pronouncing the a in the days? Even in sentences? The only time I hear myself do it is if I'm listing them and paying attention. Might just be me though.

Yes? "Day" is not pronounced "dee" AFAIK.

When I say "day" or "today" I pronounce it fully, but when saying the names in conversation, it's more like "I'll see you Tuesdy at noon."

Judging by reactions, it's just, maybe SoCal? Or maybe just me.

I'm not sure which section of SoCal you're referring to, but SD's about as South as one can get before TJ and everyone here seems to pronounce it "tūzdā" not "tūzdi". 😅🤷🏽‍♂️

I think a lot of Brits pronounce it that way

It is probably accent dependent. Where I live people pronounce it like "weddinsday"
