STOP TACKING SILENT E'S ONTO THE ENDS OF WORDS! How the fuck am I even supposed to pronounce that? And why is there an e at the end of "aw" anyway??? "Awe" is the name for a feeling, like "happiness" or "anger". "Aw" is the thing you say when you see something cute.
I usually saw awww, but maybe that's just me. First time I saw Niagra Falls, I said it was awesome, as in, inspiring awe. Not skater-speak, 'awesome, dudes!' But awe-inspiring. It really is something to see. Especially from the Canadian side.
Yeah, that's a more appropriate way to phonetically spell an extended "aw," but adding an e where it doesn't belong, and then tacking on six more? How is anyone meant to pronounce that?
Scientific consensus is that all vertebrates are sentient. So if you're going to draw a line in the sand on an issue, take care to be aware which side of the line you're actually on before calling another culture into question
Does is bug anyone else that people stress words like awe with aweeeeee instead of aaaaaawe? Also, aww or aw is the word that should have been used, and therefore there would be no eeeeee to stress anyway.
Well that’s the challenge isn’t it. Lile if ypu want to write a child calling it mother tou’d think it would be “moooooooooom” but that reads like a cow speaking. So you write “maaaaaaaawwwm” instead? Would people even know what you mean?
Yeah, awe is defined by a sense of fear in beholding. It's not nessisary to be horrific, but more like fathoming how insignificant one is in relation to the surface of the sun.
Also it is important to note you stress the vowels. Aaaaaw would be correct as Awwwww is the sound a helicopter would make or your car window when it's down on the interstate. You pronounce consonants but you chain vowels. This is a fundamental of singing and a human practice for thousands of years.
I think its just a rule to help differentiate between things like await vs awe. Awwwwwwait and aweeeee. Without this rule you might mess up and say "aweeeeee-ait" or "a-wuh." It seems dumb but in hindsight its useful. Ans if you stress aaaaawe, someone might not see the end of the word and say "ayyyyyyy" instead since they would be be spelled "aaaaaa-" at the start.
Yes, homonyms are different, but anyone who is both smart enough to attempt a grammar joke, and also able to enthusiastically mess it up THAT badly, is someone to be silently feared.
Fr same. Haven't seen the movie in literal decades, but I think about this quote multiple times a year. Thank you, internet stranger, for sharing this with me 😂

His poor stuffed animal. Now HE has no friends :(

You have the idea for a children's book, the least you could do is write it. I assume you will hire an artist.

The stuffy got to be on Late Night TV, he’s gonna be just fine

I hope he gets a book deal at least

That enclosure is inhumane. All I see is this shitty skatepark environment.

Agreed. I think it needs a leopard.

That’s like saying prisoners don’t deserve sunlight right before going to the beach and frolicking in the sun

Not at all. It's just the Circle of Life.

You vote with your money! But Japanese people eat dolphins, octopi and other sentient creatures so would they really care

Yeah, it should be awwwwww. Aaaaw would also be incorrect. That would be long ah short aw sound. Aweeeee reads like it should be ah-aw-weeee lol.
Also, it bugs me when people confuse ‘aw’, the onomatopoeia of people cooing at cute things, with ‘awe’ the word meaning silent reverent admiration.

That's bullshit. The example you give doesn't ring true at all. The correct spelling is "aww." The word "awe" has nothing to do with it.

When I read awwwww I think they are gushing over a baby or puppy or maybe a dude who droppes his pancakes.
When I read awweeeeeeeee I think they have witnessed the birth of the universe or a 4 dimensional glazed donut.

When they finally beheld the mighty Ape Mountain, they reacted with awe "Awwwwww." NO! Not aww....awe....A W E!!! "Ooooooooh."
