It's not limited to Google, now I wonder if this is actually a Cloudflare/other CDN/International Infra issue or is it that so many services use Google Cloud stuff and they are gone too because of it.

I think all affected websites run on google infra somehow, it's not a cloudflare problem .

(I love how we are using abreviated "infra" bcz we can't google how to write the full word)

It is funny because this is one of the very few words I learned while a kid to construct it from other parts.

So it is "infra" + "structure" but structure is common word so I need to remember how to write "infra" only.

The most bizarre one is the word "yesterday" which I memorized as "yes" + "ter" + "day" and don't ask me why "ter" because I don't remember.

How do you manage "Wednesday"?

I don't, for that I usually rely on search engine or autocorrect. I hate the fact that it is not pronounced as it is written. Because I always go with "Wenesday" on my own.

I'd go all iso format when it comes to that. do you mean "Wed SEP 3"?

I'm generally for spelling reform, but I like Wednesday's reference to Odin/Woden. Maybe respell it Wedensday and pronounce it like that too.

Ah, yet it's easy!

The day of Wednes. Wednes, old spelling of wedness, the state of being wed.

(So my comment is not totally useless, I'll link to the actual etymology for the ones who are now curious - my sibling comment already alluded to it)
