Olympiad: the Spelling Bee, sentence 4
Picture Kai from Manchester groaning "We say Wenzday, it's well tricky": the old name was "Woden's day", after a god, so the "d" and "nes" are still written although almost nobody says them.
Who acts: you, Kai, We, trick, old name, nobody · What happens: picture, groan, say, be, write · To what, where: Kai, Manchester, Wenzday, day, d · Speech: someone speaks here
