Common Mispronunciations of Thursday
Not TURZ-day
The word opens on the th of thin, not a t. That one sound carries the god's name into the day.
Not THURS-day, with an s
The s between the vowels is voiced, so it comes out as a z: THURZ. The same happens in Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tip: In casual British speech the ending softens to dee rather than day: THURZ-dee.
