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
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.
Disrespectfully disagree.
Then plead your case.
No.
Then I win. Have a good day.
Ok buddy.
I love me some reesees piecees!
Rhesus peices
I can get behind this
the apostrophe is silent
I’ll do you one better…People that say REESEES PEESEES.
lmao it’s me
Do your knuckles get calloused from dragging on the floor?
You used to do it because playing with words is fun. Now you also do it to annoy op
I could have sworn that they pronounced it “Reesees” in the commercials, so I went to double check and I was wrong. All official commercials that I’ve found they pronounce it “Reese’s”. This has me wondering where I heard the “Reesees” pronunciation. It must be some social thing, a dialect or accent around where I’ve grown up, or even just linguistic drift. Etymology is weird like that.
Maybe that’s how Nelson Mandela says it.
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.
yeah, same goes for “sherbert” people!
I’m upvoting both because I agree with you and because I believe we’re petty enough to still be in the minority. I think this is an unpopular opinion because most people don’t care.
Cool whip
Hwhy am I saying hwhat hweird?
My brother used to call them feces pieces, and yes, it rhymed.
Your brother is a lower form of human being.
Well he is an engineer now, so I certainly see your point.
what is a diminutive lol
Your reveals your regard for the English language.
Edit: I fucked a word.
Your reveals your

NUKE-U-LERR WARHEAD! I hate that. You’re right.
