Only idiots say one of these things, the other one is for the cool people.

Tails

Never seen S.N.E.S before. xD

elrod21

I say SNES. If that makes me an idiot, so be it.

Kugyince

I use both. Guess I'm half an idiot.

DrunkN

Yeah, I'm in this boat.

Kong

You mean "say" or "write"?

ARedLetterDay

I'm the only one that says S.N.E.S?
Saying SNES sounds like I'm sneezing.

DrunkN

I'm actually not sure if this is sarcastic, and it's made me rethink the topic.

People may actually be saying (with their mouths) "Snes" (not as an acronym) around Steven Cassidy. I could understand the topic a bit more if this is the case.

I had earlier assumed that he was referring to how it was written, due to the fact that he capitalized the non acronym version.

Slime Slayer

No, I mean verbal, pronouncing each letter, or saying something that sounds like "sness".

Dudebro

Oh if that's the case then put me down for neither. If I'm talking about it I say super nintendo. If I did wanna shorten it I'd say s.n.e.s, saying that as a word sounds stupid.

In that case I think the poll failed. I think everyone that voted SNES meant S.N.E.S.

Blue Shoe 2

I spell it out, but hearing Yahtzee say "Sneeze" all the time makes me take a double take...

Tails

Verbally it's S N E S. Snes sounds, dorkish.

Slime Slayer

I don't understand where the confusion is:

"Do you say S.N.E.S. or Snes"?

Why would poeple vote for the wrong thing?

I shoulda said "N.E.S. or Nes" in hindsight.

ARedLetterDay

Where's Captain Hindsight when you need him?

Dudebro

As for NES I usually just call it nintendo. If there's a reason to clarify I'd say N.E.S.

DrunkN

Same here.

I say we restart the poll, change "SNES" to "Snes", add the word "verbally" somewhere in Steven's first post, and add "Super Nintendo" to the poll.

Slime Slayer

Looks like I turned out to be the idiot... if some wants to restart the poll that's fine by me, I still don't understand the confusion.

For the record I think I naturally say "super ness" no acronym, and the idiots are the "sness" people.

Kugyince

So wait, why are "Snes" people idiots?

Dudebro

The confusion is when you talk about saying something on a forum most people assume you mean typing it out, because that's what we're doing.

If you want I can zero out the votes and change the poll. Just tell me what you want it to say.

joz

I voted SNES, thinking you were talking about typing it. I pronounce it Super N.E.S. or Super Nintendo. Perhaps you should have replaced "say" with "pronounce" in your question and that would have avoided the confusion.

Demon-Mask

I write SNES.
Say S.N.E.S.

CatalystiCam

Usually say Super Nintendo, but Snes comes second most, S.N.E.S. very rarely. That's just how it goes, I like Snes more.

CrispyChicken

Apparently I'm an idiot because I say "Snes"

warghoul

I voted not thinking but I say super nintendo and every once in a while s.n.e.s. If I'm around my nerd buddy's that know what I mean I'll even just say super. If we're talking original I always say N.E.S.
