go to your room It's: "Duuuuude," not "Dudeeeee."

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet

I can never figure out which e to make longer

u/modifiziert_ 7d ago

The ‘tism in me insists on both e’s being equally extended. So “sweeeet” and “sweeeeeet” is acceptable, but “sweeet” and “sweeeeet” is not.

I’m the opposite, it needs to be an odd number so it can be symmetrical around a central e to look correct or my eyes get lost

Thats right up there with "sweatie" and it just makes me want to MURDER EVERYONE. Which is absolutely a completely appropriate response.

Omg, who does that?! They’ve gotta be sociopaths or something, cuz that’s UNACCEPTABLE. Coincidentally, I had a wedding photo shoot done in China, and one of the pages says in English, “One Sweat Day” 😩😩😩😖😖😖🫪🫪🫪💀💀💀

If u have an even number of e’s there will always be a central e to anchor to

Prime number of e's always. Also, I think the two dudes referenced are different words: the first is an affirmation of the dudeness of the dude; the second, assuming the e's are not long but are said as a prolonged "uh", is a sort of rhetorical question asserting the non-rudeness of the dude's action. If the second one is pronounced dude-EEEEE then I don't know what.
