You people are the bane of my existence. Clearly you troglodytes don’t understand how English works. Reese’s. The possesive form of the name Reese, as in Harry Burnett Reese, the guy who invented the friggin’ things. Where did this “Ree-sees” thing come from? How has it become so ingrained in the public consciousness? It seems like nobody knows how to pronounce this word except me, which makes me look like the crazy asshole when I correct people. This is how my descent into madness began! How have you done this to me?! You are the ones who are objectively wrong! Why must I be the one to suffer?
Thanks for ruining me,
Nicko

its not mispronounced in new york which means its a southern thing..
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't surprise me. I have heard it mispronounced as far north as Maryland, though.
ReplyDeleteDear Will,
ReplyDeleteThe country is made up of more than New York and the south. Just because it's not mispronounced in New York doesn't mean it isn't in New England, the Midwest, the Southwest, the Northwest, etc.
Get over yourself.
I feel your pain. I've learned to live with this annoyance for the most part. If I do choose to correct someone, they usually end up saying it wrong just to bother me.
