<p>But what's the correct title:</p>
<p>Yalie!</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>Yalee!</p>
<p>I personally prefer the two e's of the second one. It rhymes with "glee" hee hee.</p>
<p>But seriously, I wrote "Yalee" on my supplemental answers. It's alright, right?</p>
<p>Anyone with factual support?</p>
<p>Um, I think it's Yalie...:P
List</a> of Yale University people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>But I agree, I think Yalee does make more sense than Yalie. But I think Yalie is how they spell it. :P</p>
<p>Yalie is more commonly used.</p>
<p>So then where did I pick up "Yalee" if "Yalie" is more commonly used?
I still haven't changed my preference.</p>
<p>I think it will make them:</p>
<p>a) Laugh at your spelling</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>b) Laugh at your spelling</p>
<p>ive never seen it yalee before</p>
<p>Dude, the context was something like:</p>
<p>Blah blah blah all passionate and then,
"Make me a Yalee. Give me all the chance, the single chance to prosper. Because in Yale, all of these are possible..."</p>
<p>I was aiming for, solemn, passionate, and solemn again</p>
<p>And my spelling's made them laugh ha ha... there goes my zinger.</p>
<p>LOL, don't worry. If you think about it, maybe Yale's diversity will one day include people who can and can't spell.</p>
<p>Wouldn't that be diversity at its greatest?</p>

<p>hmmmmm is this literally what you wrote?</p>
<p>ya, hopefully that wasn't verbatim, or else you have some weird grammar in there too O.o</p>
<p>I think... Make me a Yalie. Give me the chance, the single chance to prosper. Because at Yale, all of this is possible.
Is a lot better... grammatically speaking.</p>
<p>I prefer Eli.</p>
<p>Yalee is gross looking imho.</p>
<p>I don't understand the "single chance to prosper" part. It seems to imply that you wouldn't prosper elsewhere. but yeah, i'm sorry because the last thing that's needed is to be critiqued a few days before decisions come out.</p>
<p>When I read the word "Yalie," my mind puts the stress on the first syllable, so it's "YALE-ie."</p>
<p>When I read "Yalee," the stress is on the second syllable: "yale-EE."</p>
<p>makes me laugh.</p>
<p>The -ee suffix usually denotes a person who has been the object of some other action: amputee, deportee, lessee. The -ie suffix tends to denote function, role, or some inherent quality -- goalie, hippie, wienie, groupie, Okie (from Muskogee) -- or a diminutive -- kiddie, lassie.</p>
<p>That's why "Yalie" is the usual form. But in some contexts "Yalee" might be appropriate, I guess.</p>
<p>lol of course "Make me a Yalee" is not written verbatim from my supplemental answers.
I wrote it on top of my head, and I admit it is erroneous and also cheesy.</p>
<p>Of all people only I was mistaken seems really ridiculous.
Seriously, no one uses Yalee?</p>
<p>Maybe they will overlook the error. It's not as though you spelled the word "soup" incorrectly. It's basically slang.</p>
<p>^ If anyone couldn't spell soup, I think they would go into the auto-reject pile faster than you can say "souppe".</p>
