Have you once in your life seen the name Reese and pronounced the silent “E” at the end? Have you ever met a person named Reesee?
I’ll do you one better…People that say REESEES PEESEES. When the fuck have you ever said peesees when you read the word pieces.
If you do this, you are beyond stupid.
I did know someone named Reesee. And a person named Reesé too
Fancy
Disrespectfully disagree.
Then plead your case.
No.
Then I win. Have a good day.
Ok buddy.
the apostrophe is silent
Weird hill to even have a gentle discomfort on, let alone die on.
You’re on Lemmy. A site where where furries and anime masturbators go when Reddit isn’t weird enough, and you’re going to call my post weird?
Please…
Yeah. Getting that bent out of shape over something so pointless?
I think it’s your inability to understand social context. Again, this is Lemmy, so I’ll assume you’re on the spectrum.
I understand social context just fine. What I don’t understand being unnecessarily angry over such mundane things.
I’m not angry. It’s in jest. You just don’t understand that because you’re being pedantic and bland.
Yeahs because SO many people find themselves saying:
“If you do this you are beyond stupid”
…when they’re just in jest.
But you go on and hide behind accusing me of being… “pedantic and bland” if it helps you to backpedal.
Oh my god. Go away dork. You’re so upset about something online that you harass someone. Pot calling the kettle black.
Rhesus peices
I can get behind this
Yeah those peanut butter cups really make my type 2 diabeeteez hurt but still better than having type 1 diabeetus and having to take a shot of lantisss (spelled lantus but have never heard a dr or pharmacist call it anything but lantiss.
Edit: Its the primary reason i switched to using Rezvxzoglgxzoglr
In 1897 the original inventor of the peanut butter cup, Girontius Reesy, immigrated to the USA. The immigration officer incorrectly copied his name as Reese. He adopted the new name as written but when speaking, his family and friends continued to call themselves Reesy. The custom stuck with many people, and even after a century, and after being sold to candy conglomerates, the custom remains alive.
Oh, we’re just out here lying today.
yeah, same goes for “sherbert” people!
Don’t get me started.
I thought the point of pronouncing it like that was because it was dumb
People who pronounce it as “Reesee’s” invariably seem to be the same ones who mispronounce things like “pellow” or “malk.” Just utterly useless people.
Im not sure how to vote. I just don’t feel anyone could possibly care enough for it to be popular or unpopular. I mean I guess unpopular but not so much because others disagree. More no one cares. I mean in the us people are being grabbed off the streets.
Yeah, I also wallow in unthinking misery, can someone tell me what my opinion should be here?
Alright, man.
Cool whip
Hwhy am I saying hwhat hweird?
Theres not even an H in weird!
The funny thing I’ve found is that they don’t even realize they’re doing it. So I ask them how to say the name “Reese” and they’ll do it right. Then I’ll ask what the possessive form of the name is and they’ll say it correctly. The lightbulb moment is always really funny, but they still decide to be a fuckass and say it wrong anyway.
That’s the thing. When have you ever looked at the word “pieces” outside of candy and read it as “PEE-SEES”?
Maybe the last time I didn’t have lips.
That sentence is comedy gold.
Ironically one of the highest-profile people to say it wrong is Travis Kelce, who routinely says it incorrectly on his podcast, even when Reese’s became a sponsor of his podcast.
It’s extra ironic because his own name became commonly mispronounced by announcers and the general public. Almost every reference to him pronounces it “Kel SEE” but his name is more correctly said with a hard stop as in the word “rice”.
