The speech's "infamy" line is often misquoted as "a "day" that will live in infamy". However, Roosevelt quite deliberately chose to emphasize the "date"—December 7, 1941—rather than the "day" of the attack, a Sunday, which he mentioned only in the last line when he said, "... Sunday, December 7th, 1941, ...". He sought to emphasize the historic nature of the events at Pearl Harbor, implicitly urging the American people never to forget the attack and memorialize its date. Notwithstanding, the term "day of infamy" has become widely used by the media to refer to any moment of supreme disgrace or evil.
