zee ess en ee ess

ess en ee ess nine ex

duh

Life is way too short for that shit.

 

[J@hranimo]

I've never seen so many red names in one thread before o_o.

I feel like they just did this rhyme because that's how they say it. I think it's a tomato/tomahto type of thing.

With that said, I'm still calling it S-N-E-S.

 

[Stumpokapow]

NOW SOMEONE IS TELLING ME THAT HE SAYS ZED SNESS

I mean I'll allow for the fact that the intended pronunciation is "Zee sness", but I can't help that Americans say the alphabet wrong.

 

[SOR5]

I had one friend call it 'The Snass'

 

[Muffin1611]

You're wrong.

This world is wrong.

Next you're telling me they're putting pineapple on their S-N-E-S.

 

[tsundoku]

Adding a Z or 9X to a string of letters does not tax me

zee ess en ee ess

ess en ee ess nine ex

duh

ok children now try DARPA and NASA

Guys, Ness was named for the N.E.S. Otherwise his name would be "Sness." His name is not Sness.

Today I learned that a lot of people don't just call it a 'snez'.

Why the hell would you not call it a snez

Cause that's not how you fuckin say it!

"sness" is some stupid shit that all future california game journalists and youtube believed when they were kids by coincidence and then when they grew up, instead of experiencing the appropriate amount of shame and guilt before Jesus Christ, they used the bedeviled internet to delude themselves and countless innocents into thinking that it was how it was supposed to be all along


they will pay their wage when the sky falls and the judgment comes

Hey now, I grew up and reside in California and I have always and will always say it the right way.

 

[Kuga]

Finally, we've confirmed what all reasonable people already know.

 

[The007JiM]

Justice!

Mark this day

 

[Wiped89]

Today I learned that a lot of people don't just call it a 'snez'.

Why the hell would you not call it a snez

Because there's no z so it's pronounced Sness. Like Nintendo say it should be.

Spoiler

sweet glorious redemption

 

[Makonero]

I call it the "Super Nintendo".

Ninten's yo-yo on a Super Nintendo

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Do y'all know how fucking long it takes to say Essenyess in German. Hours, well seconds but a bunch more than snes.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

the entire joke relies on the two words having the same amount of syllables. you are in the bargaining stage

your entire thread relies on Nintendo being competent at Twitter memes, which is a risky tactic

they could easily come out and say "We meant Ness is on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System" and it would be totally believable

 

[KojiKnight]

Acronyms versus initialisms.

 

[jwhit28]

We always said NESS and Super NESS. So half credit?

 

[Not]

the entire joke relies on the two words having the same amount of syllables. you are in the bargaining stage

I've seen plenty of variations that say otherwise. Who's bargaining?

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Glad we can finally settle this issue

 

[XANDER CAGE]

it's sness!!!!!!!!

I've seen plenty of variations that say otherwise. Who's bargaining?

those are bad variations then

 

[Ashby]

It is Super N-E-S, as codified by Nintendo with the official branding for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System™: Super NES Classic Edition.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

NOW SOMEONE IS TELLING ME THAT HE SAYS ZED SNESS

zed sness


zed sness


Zed Sness is like a joke character from a Garth Ennis comic who gets his balls blown off after three pages

[SinCityAssassin]

SNESS

S-N-E-S

Stop fighting, world peace y'all.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

[ggx2ac]

This needs a Japan McDonald's style of battle:

Initialism vs Acronym

S.N.E.S. Vs SNEZ

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Mod edit wars are the best

 

[XANDER CAGE]

this is the best wiggler wednesday ever

 

[Zero-ELEC]

[Makonero]

[WordAssassin]

The irresponsible child running the NYC Store Twitter account better be held accountable for all the deaths that will come from this carelessness.

 

[tsundoku]

Acronyms versus initialisms.

its not an initialism its a fucking super nintendo or a nintendo entertainment system

sness and ness are 100% acronyms as defined by the public

 

[Christine]

We all remember that classic episode where Ralph Wiggum refers to Superintendent Chalmers as "sness Chalmers", right?

 

[Synth]

Acronyms versus initialisms.

Ok, so what makes SNES one and DARPA the other?

 

[Cynosure]

the picture is dumb
assuming "sness" is the right pronunciation, then the pic is saying "sness-ness"

 

[Belgian Dude]

Hm, it's actually pronounced sneeze? And that's not even an option on the poll smh

E: haha holy shit the poll change

 

[dadjumper]

NOW SOMEONE IS TELLING ME THAT HE SAYS ZED SNESS

I say Zed Sness. It's the letter Z, "Zed", followed by the name of the console, Sness. What's the problem here

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

SNESS

S-N-E-S

and Super NES

all rhyme with Ness.

Stop fighting, world peace y'all.

 

[Not]

You guys know that "snezz" sounds like boogers, right

Know how people were always looking at you funny in 1994? Now you know why.

 

[DNAbro]

Pearl would say S N E S
Marina would say sness

 

[XANDER CAGE]

the picture is dumb
assuming "sness" is the right pronunciation, then the pic is saying "sness-ness"

you've heard of elf on the shell, now prepare for ness on the sness

 

[orochi91]

Ness on an Essennyess still rhymes

Sorry peeps

[Stone Ocean]

We all remember that classic episode where Ralph Wiggum refers to Superintendent Chalmers as "sness Chalmers", right?

Yes

And considering Ralph's gimmick is that he says everything wrong, you have your answer now.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

What does the Sonic Twitter account have to say about this?

Mod edit wars are the best

Especially when polls are involved.

SNESS

S-N-E-S

Your fence-sitting gets you nowhere, you must choose

 

[psyfi]

I always say Super EnnEeeEss or Super Nintendo. I never say SNES in any of its variations.
