Whoops, forgot to mention that I split this from the main discussion thread. Both because it's off-topic and because it's hilarious.

There's nothing wrong with memes. Hell, I found out MH through Know Your Meme.
And, I just found out it's pronounced "meem" and not "me me"
I would've paid three or four wifin's for info like that!

if we're making a new currency, such things should be discussed...

You are not alone. I also found Marble Hornets through know your meme and then discovered that it was not 'meemee', but 'meem'. XD Exact same story~

Ditto. I still say meme and will never change.
Just like how people say I mispronounce Champagne.

I think it's still acceptable to say "mee mee"

I alternate between the two. Me-me is how I said it until someone corrected me. XD
WHY CAN'T WE JUST PRONOUNCE THINGS THE WAY THEY LOOK WRITTEN OUT, ENGLISH LANGUAGE!?

Because we need those little written shibboleths to trip people up. It's a method of social stratification thing, I imagine. XD

if you have a problem pronouncing it 'meem' then you'll have to take it up with the inventor of the word, Richard Dawkins.

I actually said "mehm" or "mêm" before I figured out it was "meem".
Also, the problem with pronouncing things the way they're written with the English language is words like "thought" "fought" "through" "though" and all the other gh words and countless examples that I can't think of right now.

I sound like I'm choking.
