What does Wednesday abbreviate to?

Wednesday typically abbreviates to "Wed." This is part of a convention in English where every day of the week is shortened to three letters, maintaining the first three letters of the original name. This makes it easier to fit the day names into schedules or calendars without taking up too much space. So, just like Monday becomes Mon, Tuesday becomes Tue, Wednesday simplifies to Wed. Isn't that a handy trick for those more cluttered days? Let's keep this chat rolling, have you ever wondered why we abbreviate other words in English?
