Nobody pronounces it "Grenade-ier". For one, that sounds stupid as gently caress and second it would imply that the word "Grenadiest" exists.

Grenadier: a soldier armed with grenades or a grenade launcher.

The Grenadier perk is designed to refill your grenade charge faster, so you can be a "gren-uhhh-deer".
Seeing as everyone else is already throwing grenades, what?

You require historical context clunkily applied to make a thing make kinda sense, cool cool. Mine makes complete sense immediately and with zero assumptions. Good game.

You spent your first few months here as a chump, eventually acculturated and developed a minimum of respect, and now you choose to blow it on this? :caro:

Blow giving a gently caress what people think about me which is massively lol, on a quasitroll about semantics? Yes.

Considering in their march song it's pronounced the way we all do, I'd say someone lied to you at some point. Also, they are derived from the British Grenadiers, pronounced the same way. Namaste.

"Army of one" is actually pronounced "army of oni" because they meant for the perk to make you feel like you are leading a hoard of mythical Japanese ogres.

No, you make zero sense because "Grenade-ier" isn't a word and never has been.

Grenadier, a perk about grenades and having more of them, is not loving pronounced grin-uhh-deer. You throw grin-uhh-dees at your en-uhh-mees, do you? Burn in loving hell.

That's a jacked up standard for something which can be found at home in sentences containing siege dancers, dark blades, undoing death, and every other thing in the game. Open the Grimoire, this is a game of :words: and the definition you provided describes every single Guardian sans perk, so your argument admittedly comes down to one being older, which doesn't give it some power to self-validate. Grenade-ier correctly, accurately, and fully represents the perk definition as given. *brain storm fart* PetSmart gets the PetsMart treatment, neither are words, and while the correct one is but a name the incorrect one correctly and accurately describes what is happening inside. I contest that Space Barbie Grimoire does not require things to have existed before.

One is about Canadian soldiers and the other is gun magic. Spelled the same, different words, different pronunciations. Also, if I gave a poo poo I would go to Reddit or something but I came here to be a twit.

If Grenadier was a subclass or something it would makes sense to 1:1 to me. My thought when I see it is that there's a word of like spelling whose a meaning has a relevance, which informs this new thing they're making. Stopping at first appearance there doesn't make a lick of sense to me.

I do love how passionate I get people, tho :allears:
