Another Pronunciation Poll

[Justin A]

This post is inspired by an argument I had with NLSoldier.

[daryn]

how could any intelligent man not pronounce it "shnides".



it's "inestine"

not "eensteen"

[NLSoldier]

None of the above. Its Sneeds. End of thread.

[GuyOnTilt]

In my head I pronounce it "Shneeds" even though I know it's supposed to be "Shnides".

PS. Schneids likes to urinate on American currency. It's true. Seriously. Sicko.

Dude, thats what I thought. Then I met GoT, The Dude, and Justin A and they proved that although otherwise seemingly intelligente, they all thought it was Schneeds.

i believe them all to be less intelligent than i have previously believed them to be.

LOL, you must have had your expectations a little too high /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I suppose that has to depend on how you previously viewed us. Does it matter that I didn't know it was short for Schneider?

Really, that is embarrassing, although in their defense they went to school in Azusa.

no. i think it's common knowledge that ei is pronounced like a long I

[NLSoldier]

I doubt that Daryn knew it was short for Schneider yet he had no trouble with it. Must be a California thing.

[GuyOnTilt]

You guys all suck. We're right. You all, Schneids himself, and his parents are all wrong.

PS. Has anyone else heard that Schneids makes it a habit to urinate (and most likely occassionally defecate as well) on $1 bills? Sicko.

[/ QUOTE ]Daryn my friend, you are en fuego right now.

[NLSoldier]

Hmm resonable point although none of those are pronounced like the long E as in Schneeds.

Haha, I can understand the Dude being mad about it. But I thought you would give him props. That was a pretty sweet move imo.

How about caffein?

are you going to spend all day listing words that have "ei" in it?

i think it's caffeine.


anyway, you're correct ei is not ALWAYS pronounced like long I. however it always is when you're dealing with a word from german origin (at least i believe this is true)

now come on, SCHNEIDS... doesn't that sound a bit german? or at least a bit non-american?

[NLSoldier]

While were on the topic of name pronounciation. I have always found it funny that pretty much everyone butchers my last name pretty bad when it is totally phoenetic. I think they must just look at it and panic.

Its Schnettler (Schnett-ler) and I've heard it prnonounced Schletner, Schlettler, Schneetler, Snelter, Schneller, it gets pretty bad...

[Michael Davis]

A 4th grade substitute called me Michelle at roll call and the name stuck. Thanks.

-Michael

[NLSoldier]

Who is the tool that replied pretending to be SnIdes himself?

[ThaSaltCracka]

my name is almost as bad.

Rambin

I get Ramblin, Ramdin, Raymbin, Randin

dipshits.

Hmm. I always thought it was Shneet-ler.

I'm kidding.

Justin A

[kyro]

hmm, best friend's last name is schneider. call him schneid, schnei, schneids...definitely long "I"

[kyro]

wallingford

i get willingford, willington. the 'a' in my name really throws people sometimes...

[kerssens]

I mispronounce my own screen name...for some reason when I see it I think k-erssens

[Justin A]

My name is Allred, and I get Alfred, Aldridge, Allard, and Alread.

I'm sure somewhere out there there's a Smith who's had someone pronounce his name Smythe.

Hilarious thread!!!

Ok you win.

It's too bad because I had six more words with ei that aren't a long I. Unfortunately there are no exceptions in German, where the pronunciation is rather rigid.

Justin A

[BusterStacks]

It's not Shneeds?

[/ QUOTE ]


so how do you pronounce Allred? i would probably say it like the words all and red.

[NLSoldier]

LOL, When I first told him that everyone thought it was Shneeds he got all mad and was like "well why dont you correct them!"
So the more that get it wrong the funnier imo.

Last night when you and I were playing and I was talking about some posters I mentioned Schneids and I deliberately lowered my voice and kinda slurred his name because I had no clue how to pronouce it, I'm suprised you didn't notice.

LMAO, I wish I woulda been there. I woulda noticed considering ive had this discussion a few times now.

Wait a minute, I thought you didn't have a keyboard /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Well according to the poll you have go with Shneeds about one third of the time and Shnides about two thirds of the time.

Got yourself a keyboard huh?

[daryn]

why not just listen to daryn and be correct?

everyone should do this more often.

By "everyone" did you mean "morons" ?

[thatpfunk]

Definetly not a california thinkg... I thought it was common knowledge as well.

Try having the last name Podgurski.. It's pronounced exaclty as spelled (Pod-gur-ski) but growing up I got Pudurski, Pugurski, Pugooski etc. One sub got so flustered in high school she blurted out Pumavooski and I dealt with that name for a month. Fun times.

Coaches trying to yell at me was a whole other story, hence my handle and nickname.

You people have too much time on your hands.

There's only one poster on 2+2 that I've had no idea how to pronounce their alias (well, other than that PIZ0WNRD!@!@! guy or whatever the eff the name is).

[ThaSaltCracka]

since, schneids is on, how do you pronounce it?

you pronounce his "huge hom[/i]o" because he easily has the worst name on here.

Alright. I lost a HULA bet with The Dude. Part of the bet's arrangement had me mailing him a $1 bill so he can add it to his "wall of wins" or whatever he calls it; basically, like a hunter that might take a feather off each bird they kill. He never specified to me the condition the bill had to be in.

So I patiently waited ~2 months until I obtained the perfect bill for him: one that looked just disgusting, crinkled to all hell and happened to have a few yellow stains on it. The Dude is convinced these yellow stains are from urine, and GoT plays along as The Dude's pawn because I wrote on the $1 bill "I cannot believe you made out with Brighten for $1!"

So yes, The Dude thought he'd be proudly displaying a $1 bill showcasing a domination of Schneids. He thought wrong.

I'm curious, were you the one that voted the last selection? Because that vote appeared awhile ago, and methinks someone wasn't taking my poll very seriously.

I've always just thought of your name as 'confuzzed', maybe a variation off 'confused'. /images/graemlins/confused.gif
