I hate Wednesdays
Wednesdays are the least favourite day of the week for me.
Wednesdays are when teachers in Israel give you the most homework, because they can't give you any homework on Tuesdays and Fridays (Tuesday is when we have Scouts, and Friday is before the Sabbath and we're not allowed to work on a Sabbath, let alone sit and do homework!).
I also don't like days that are difficult to type.
Back to our Hebrew lessons. Fourth day of the week - Yom revi'ee.
Man standing fourth in line - ani revi'ee.
Woman standing fourth in line - ani revi'it.
Pronounciation: revi-EE and revi-IT.
The number four in Hebrew - arbah. Pronounciated (exception follows): AR-bah.
One of the ten plagues, locusts - arbeh. Pronounciated: ar-BEH.
Spelt differently.

Ah, I could see a faux pas here with a mispronounciation of four. Funny thing is, I'll remember arbeh.

ZS, I have a solution for you - raise your four fingers to make it quite clear what you mean to say. :-)
