A little history on the word:

Meme comes from the french word même, meaning same, because a meme is the same idea repeated over and over. In French, it is pronounced like the 'mem' in 'memory', and when it moved to English, it changed this sound to the one in the video. However, it still did not pronounce the 'e' at the end. Many words in French words have e's at the end to pronounce them properly, as words ending with consonants usually...

[satanicsatan666]

...pronounce the last syllable without the consonant. As English borrows words from so many languages, each with its own way of pronouncing words, rules for pronunciation differ greatly in English. This can make spelling and pronunciation difficult, especially for unfamiliar words, yet this is no reason to accept mistakes as facts. It isn't bad to simply not know, but it is bad to purposefully mispronounce it, or worse, argue that one is correct without any proper knowledge on the subject.

You took that literally, didn't you?

Also, if you were a real sheep, you would not be able to think, type, talk, or understand complex emotions. So, you don't wish you were "a sheep". If anything, the term you want is "anthropomorphic sheep".

[Azure Neptune]

I wish I was a sheep! I love animals :D

[ChickenBigTtub]

I pronounce it mem

[DrakeGosson]

It's not just about one word. It's about the stubbornness of certain morons that will argue their ignorant statements and beliefs until the world ends.

[DrakeGosson]

Keep in mind that words are SAID before they're written down. That's why you need to educate your damn selves before you just flip on the default switch and take the literal pronunciation.
