Is it sunday or sunduh?

  • December 22, 2020, 4:12am

I live in the Midwest u.s, and I have heard it pronounced sunDAY as well as the aforementioned sunDUH. I really have no basis or possible memory of hearing this explanation, but I've always been under the impression that, since Sunday, the weekday, is traditionally the Christian day of worship, and it would be disrespectful or inappropriate to possibly compare this day and a sweet treat in such vernacular
