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