Pronunciation & Spelling
All of these words share the '-day' spelling with Friday. However, note that in standard pronunciation, Friday ends with /di/ (like in 'beady'), while the other weekdays typically end with /deɪ/ (like 'day' /deɪ/). In rapid speech, some speakers may reduce the final syllable to /di/ for all, but the careful pronunciation differs. The part 'day' is a transparent spelling chunk common to all days of the week.
