Now that I think about it, do you guys say Beatrice or Tris?
Tris.
Also I always wonder why her name isn't Trice?
Tris.
^Because the way it’s spelt the way it’s said “Tris” so really the question is why isn’t it spelt like “Beatris”? 😆
Lol true. I have a feeling that I've read some fanfictions where they incorrectly (or not really) spell her name like Beatris.
I say Beatrice-
I say Tris for the same reason as Four.
Yeah, 'Trice' would look like it is pronounced rhyming with 'ice'. And that does create an unsatisfying situation of the short version being at odds with the long one. But I think spelling of many words depends on the language they were taken from, in English, it is common that spelling is kept but the pronounciation is adjusted to English, might contribute to it being a generally difficult language in terms of spelling.
So, her name remained spelled like where it was taken from, but her nickname, that, like other nicknames, didn't really exist as a name before people thought to shorten it, was spelled as it'd be logical for the pronounciation, hence the difference.
It’s funny you say that because as soon as I saw “Trice” my head automatically starting singing Trice Trice baby 😆 (instead of Ice Ice baby)
Lmaooo. I was also going to say it would be pronounced 'tr-ice' but realized that doesn't say anything as it's how it's spelled. Then I realized the other part is ice and I can explain that way.
Now I have the song stuck in my head lol.
Then, trice also means three times, so she'd still have a number nickname, and that famous quote would be 'Four and three'.
The word you're looking for is thrice. There's an h
That would be insanely funny though
It did look like something was missing. I could've really thought of it since there is an h in 'three' lol. I was additionally confused because there is an artist with Trice in his scene name, without the h.
What do you think?
