I never questioned the y but always read it as a G

[–] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I always read it as an Ð, which is am Icelandic letter. It kinda sounds like the "th" in "the", so I read it as "Thisney"

[–] codapine@lemm.ee 42 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I was so confused by this as a kid.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Try being a Scottish kid, where Disney means "doesn't"

Thanks for the shot of "where did your youth go, old man".

When I grew up it was borrowed VHS tapes of Disne(y/p). I was born with Disney on tape. I didn't see Disnep+ until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!

[–] exocrinous@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Okay but the person you're replying to is probably talking about being confused by Gisnep, which has been around a lot longer than Gisnep+

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 39 points 1 year ago

I always thought the first symbol was some backwards cursive G and it's weird.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I always thought the D was a G as the kid and kept wondering why the logo said "Gisney" if they were called Disney

I always thought the moon or circle at the start of Spielberg's amblin was an O and confused about how to read it. Oh-amblin? Om-blin?

Young me: Gisnex

[–] hecklerundkochli@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

Honestly, it always was Disneϕ (Disnephi) for me

Finally someone else 👋

[–] 30p87@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

I still call it Disnep out of spite, if you can't choose the right font you don't deserve to be called 'right'.

I always thought it's spelled Disnep and pronounced Disney.

I mean English is not my native and you guys have crazier spellings.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

It took me 10 years to realize that Disnep isnt a property of Disney

Could also be the small Greek letter “Phi” ϕ

[–] Zer0_F0x@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Am Greek. Used to think it said Φisneφ.

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I internally go "Disnep" every time I see this to this very day!

[–] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 3 points 1 year ago

I always read Disneq and I will never stop saying it like that in my head.

How is this being down voted by anyone?

Some people have no sense of humor.

Also this is hilarious

I always thought that D was weird. I see it as that thing in music sheets.
