As for "CHEENEE," that is the native/correct pronunciation. I was watching Tweety several years ago when ex-Senator/Always-pain-in-the-neck Alan SIMPSON told Tweety that he/SIMPSON is a personal friend of CHEENEE's of most if not all of their lives and that CHEENEE is how the CHEENEE family pronounced it back when they really were legal residents in wherever the f*** they were from, and ever since then Tweety has been pronouncing it that way, and my adoption of it is just the sight-jarring way to ridicule/denigrate, despite that correct pronunciation is not really an act of ridicule/denigration.
But back to MY point: My peeve about posting things that sink immediately only to see the same item posted later to tons of success is something that happens daily on an internet board, and not unique to me although there is a tinge of taking it personally when it happens to one personally. It's a matter of one's putting in, say, 45 minutes of cutting/pasting, or worse/ORIGINALITY, editing, highlighting, sometimes adding graphics --- then seeing it sink only to see the topic posted way more claque-illy.
So, no, it's not a matter of the victim's being blamed, but thanks.
