Wednesday

Exactly when did we decide that the days of the week should end in day. Why not just Wednes? We know its a day. We don't say onenumber or twonumber. We know that one and two are numbers and there is no need to be redundant. (ps i can't spell). Just something to think about. Life can be interesting, but really, do we need all those extra

There are many of these redundancies in the English language. Like tuna fish. We know Tuna is a fish. But there are bigger problems in the world to concern ourselves with…like the plight of babies born without an anus!
