Does anyone actually say 'sixth'?

[PrettyCandles]

rather than 'sikth'?

[Pushpinia]

We could just call it 'Midweek' I suppose...

[skyatnight]

dd, 3, says 'peppery' for 'February'.
HTH!

[Iklboo]

Bugger - someone calls it Wodenstag (or did once upon a bright and sunny Wednesday I think). Maybe it's just on my planet?

[Pushpinia]

It is probably scandinavian Ikl.

V. good but not very pronounceable. Are there any pedants around to instruct?

[SaintGeorge]

Wodenstag is old German, pre-christian.

Oh, Old High German. Yes, but that was before the Old German was lowered and before you changed it to 'Middle-of-the-week-day' so they did too: 'Mittwoch'.

[Pushpinia]

PMSL!

I think we could have:

'don't-try-to-ring-anyone-corporate' day

'bored-already-thank-fuck-it's-holby-city' day

'Fuck-it-I-always-forget-the-sodding-lottery-ticket' day

'so-dull-it-barely-exists-but-at-least-that-means-it-goes-fast' day

'hardly-worth-going-in' day

'town-is-full-of-hoodies-and-dads' day

and finally

'there-is-nowhere-open-when-you-most-need-to-escape' day.

I have never heard anybody say sikth!!

Is that an English thing, like Aks instead of Ask??

[skyatnight]

Zer iss sum kross-possting goh-ing onn hier!
Or is it X-post'ng?

[Pushpinia]

Do you think in Germany if we had a pedants corner, anyone would even know the right answers? it's so bloody complicated!

Pedants airfield really. Rather than corner. The rest of MN would be tiny.

[Pushpinia]

Skyatnight I am almost crapping myself at your interesting German dialect!

sorry tmi!

[georgimama]

OK then, how do you say "research" and "finance"?

[TheUNITUBER]

Gasp! "Aks" is not English! It is American. Jerry Springer show American to be precise. It's just being imported by morons.

[skyatnight]

Sich (Sikth) Krappen (reflexiv)

• ein sehr interessantes Verb (der. low German)

[oggsfrog]

Schedule - Skejool or shedule?

[Pushpinia]

Stop it!
