v/ seth here, but i do think it's opinionated

i seriously don't find snit to be a reasonable shortening personally it just feels so stupid & forced

Things are and aren't logical. It isn't just strictly an opinion thing, there are general social constructs in what is and isn't a logical nickname or shortening.. It's forced as fuck and looks stupid

I agree that Alexan and Jessic are stupid, but I don't think those are fair comparisons. You're adding an extra syllable to what would be acceptable in those names. We're not debating the merits of "Snitchi" here.

We're debating whether Snit as well as Snitch would be acceptable.

The best comparison IMO is Bar or Barc both being OK for Barcotic.

It's the best comparison for you because it meets your criteria

Mine aren't stupid if yours isn't. They are the same idea, there are common sense rules that your brain knows. Those rules would NEVER call someone who goes by Snitching Snit. Not once. Only those forced things come up in text battles. It doesn't matter how they "sound" to you, it matters that they don't make sense. The Bar/Barc and Snit/Snitch seem to you okay because they have single syllable sounds that end in multiple consonants so can be a few lengths.

So say, Cashius. Cash/Cas. Both end in consonants, Cas, shis or Cash, us could be taken by your standards and you could use Cas (Like CASSidy), yet no one has and no one would. They use Cash.

I actually don't think Barc makes sense really just because it's a word. It's Bar-cot-ic not Barc-ott-ic.

Outside of text battling sure, but this IS text battling so how is your point more relevant than what Dom is saying? You're using real life as a benchmark for what's acceptable in a text battle which is laughable to begin with.

Used Cashius at the end to bring it to strictly text lmfao

Being text doesn't mean the rules of life suddenly don't exist. That low IQ bullshit theory is why retards run rampant all over the internet cuz free speech. This being a nerdy extension of something hosted on a vbulletin forum doesn't mean you change the rules of how names work.

Bar/Barc vs Snit/Snitch is the best comparison because it's doing the same thing - removing part of the sound but keeping it to the same syllable instead of adding extra syllables like you're doing with Dom/Domin, Alex/Alexan, Jess/Jessic.

Cas vs Cash is a better comparison but I'd still argue it's not the same. When you drop the h you change the pronunciation of the s. You can still hear bar in barc and snit in snitch, but you can't hear cas in cash.

You can dislike Barc for Barcotic as a matter of opinion but that's been firmly established as being OK, and that's the closest example we've seen to what we're arguing over here. It's fine if YOU hate Snit and can't imagine anyone calling him that but at least three people disagree with you. It IS a matter of opinion.

4 vs 3 only supports my point that it's a matter of opinion man. And I'm not claiming Snit and Snitch are the same sound. I'm claiming either are acceptable shortenings for the name Snitching the same way Bar and Barc are both acceptable for Barcotic. What has vocabulary got to do with this?

@Cashius I see you lurking. You better rejoin us soon.

@mods namechange to set since you can hear the set in seth why waste bandwidth on the extra character

I hear Snit in Snitch. Apparently others do too. So what?

Set/Seth is the same as Cas/Cash. The h changes the sound, it's not just tacked on.

But that would be relevant if we were arguing Snic vs Snich.

Snit vs Snitch isn't changing a "c" sound to a "ch" sound, it's tacking on the entirety of the "ch" sound.
