Pronunciation PSA

[bombbiggidyphil]

I usually don't care about stuff like this, but I've been hearing this for years. We've got people on ESPN saying it now. Stop it.

It's Reese's, not Reesees. As in Reese has a peanut butter cup...it's Reese's peanut butter cup. The apostrophe implies ownership. There is no Reesee.

For those that need proof...


There you go. No more excuses. If you keep saying Reesees, you're just being belligerent.

/Reesees /rant /discussion /NT

 

[stuntman mike]

never heard anyone say ree-sees in my life.

 

[wayniac211]

Dee says reese’s

 

[2oh6ridah]

Is it Pet Smart or Pets Mart?????

 

[celticspride34]

I'm not even sure how I say it anymore now...

Racists peanut butter cups

 

[cosmiccoffee9]

in the Netherlands, the main ingredient in the Cups of Reese is known as "peanut cheese" because butter is serious business in that neck of the woods.

on topic tho, this isn't anywhere near as bad as "karmul."

 

[Ox.]

this whole time I thought it was pronounced Reese's

 

[AZwildcats]

never heard anyone say ree-sees in my life.

That's how everyone pronounces it here, it's weird to me when someone says it the correct way

 

[RIP sleazyy]

Is it Pet Smart or Pets Mart?????

Clearly Pets Smart

This just makes me want some Reesees Peesees

 

[sooperhooper]

My air force supervisor said it the wrong way and it was slightly annoying but not that big of a deal.

What bothers me is
-seeing then instead of than
-sims card instead of sim card, I don't know why this one bothers me so much
-mines instead of mine
-'do anyone' instead of 'does anyone'. I had two coworkers at different jobs that led their sentence with that and it drove me crazy. I was kinda cool with them so I didn't want to be that guy to correct them.
All of these literally make me lightweight mad inside.

There's no way "Nguyen" = wen

What kind of black magic linguistics is that

It's " na guy en."

 

[jayhood23]

Only da hoodrats

Kills me when people say "these ones"
These implies plural, this implies singular, and they out here making 1 plural. I don't get it.

How often are you discussing chocolate covered peanut butter cups for this to get you upset OP?

 

[mangudai954]

Only poor people say Reesees

 

[tr1ll]

Because regional accents and differences must be stopped!!

Way too often, apparently.

Because regional accents and differences must be stopped!!

Finally! Someone gets it!

No, man...has nothing to do with accents. I'm in WA state...probably the most vanilla place for accents. People just don't know what they're saying. If differences means a world where Reesees is acceptable...I don't want to live here anymore.

Never heard Sal-mun...up there with ja-lap-e-no

 

[oh you mad]

I took this one chick to panera and she ordered a souffle and called it a souf-ul
