minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months ago“Sness” is way less unacceptable than “ness” to me, for some reason.

minus-squarekratoz29@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months ago Also, I hate when people call it “Ness” Do you hate it when they write it? To my ears it would be the same.
minus-squareelephantium@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoI don’t think I’ve ever heard someone refer to it as “ness”. I think I’d be confused – what does the Loch Ness Monster have to do with gaming? – until they clarified.
