Is it USM or USUM?

>>32695897
do you say bw2 or b2w2?
it's probably usum, but people will say usm for ease.

The one thats faster to type usually wins out.

USUM, obviously. It's Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, not Ultra Sun and Moon.

...and as I was typing this, I realized that I invariably say "BW2," which is inconsistent with what I just said. So now I have no idea.

>>32695897
It's USUM. What's with gen 7 being the start of people being split on abbreviations anyways? First the cancerous SuMo when the first two games were always the first letter of their version names, and now this.

Well... that's evidence. I'm now leaning towards USM. It really goes against my first instincts, but it's consistent with "BW2," and if the official account isn't insisting on using "Ultra" twice...

They use USUM on the Japanese site.

On this board it is USM, end of discussion.

>You-sum

It's USM.

>>32695897

It's BW2, not B2W2

It's USM

>Only this and one other thread uses the USM abbreviation
>Everyone else uses USUM
Really makes you think.

On one hand, spelling out "Juu-ess-emm" is better than "Juu-ess-juu-emm"
but on the other, you could just say "Usum" like some swahili word

seeing as people got used to saying "sumo" instead of "Ess-emm" i'm guessing they'll like "Usum"

I'll happily just call them Ultra

>>32696333

See, though, I was #TeamUSUM all the way until I realized the inconsistency with "BW2." Now I'm strongly leaning towards USM.

>>32696348
>seeing as people got used to saying "sumo"
That never happened, it's SM.

USM sounds better and is consistent with BW2, let's not be dumb

>>32696380
Yeah, this. SUMO is still stupid, and I think that its use significantly dropped over time.

>U = "Juu"
wat

>>32696348
Do you literally pronounce your U's with a j at the beginning? Take some english pronunciation classes.

>>32696417
Wait, yeah, what? Since when is "U" pronounced with a J sound?

Having two Us is redudant.

>>32695897
I'm honestly fine with either one, but I'd prefer to call it USM to unify all four games desu

USUM makes sense to me like ORAS it just feels weird because one is the same word.

tell that to Masuda

Just use the one you want to. I'll stick with USM and still gets the point across, because it's easier to type, which is, quite literally, the point of abridging. And besides, there's absolutely zero reasons to use USUM instead of just USM.

>but it's Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, not Ultra Sun Moon!
Then call it that. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Actually, it's technically Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon. So use that, if you want to be "correct" so fucking badly. Or if you want to be correct and abridge, then call it, I don't know, PUSAPUM. If you're going to take out parts of it to make it easier to type, then why not go all the way, make it the easiest it can be without losing the meaning? Because you're likely retarded, that why.

Ultra SuMo

UlSuUlMo is the most reasonable choice

>>32696826
Fuck off

>>32696703
Union still has a YEW pronunciation at the start. If you say it with a J, people are going to look at you strangely.

>>32696878
it's not like i'm using the same j as in "jeans" or "join", more like in ...

Actually, i think that was the problem
i pronounce "juu" just like "yew", but i thought of the letter J as having varying pronounciation
Don't know where i got that from, but i can't think of any words without the same sound as "jeans"

Sorry bout that

>>32696826
>UlSuUlMo
the point of abbreviations is to make it easier and quicker to type .

it's not B2W2, it's BW2
therefore its USM.

>>32695897
I like US/UM because then we literally have Pokémon Um....

USUM

>>32695897
You know the reddit faggots will use USuUMo

>>32695961
Political Correctness gone haywire caused SuMo to happen
Even though DP is in common usage and nobody ever complained about it.

>>32697617
>political correctness
literally what

Nippon uses USUM, Burgerland uses USM. I guess I'll go with USUM, given that I have always been a B2W2 fag.

SM is an abbreviation of sadomasochistic.

>>32697651
...No wonder why redditors used SuMo. They have to put political correctness in stuff where it's not needed.

>>32695897
USUM is more "usum". That's a joke

>>32695897
Is the poll rigged? USM was leading by 10% but now it's always just one vote ahead.

USuUMo

>>32696417
>what are scandinavian languages

From a practical standpoint, USM since both titles have ultra in their titles just like how black 2 and white 2 both share 2

>>32699279
idk, but they arent the languages used on this board so irrelevant
