Ananas

Ananas: noun. It is high time that the English language finally left its silly practice of calling ananases "pineapples," as they have little to do with apples and even less to do with pines. If one looks at a box of juice, one can easily comprehend why it is difficult for foreigners to understand English speakers and vice versa in philosophical discussions on this topic, as most modern world languages use the word ananas rather than whatever else one could call this fruit. The only widely known language that plays this tug of war on the side of the English speakers is Spanish with the term "piña," though it isn't too reliable of an ally as many Spanish speakers also recognise the words "ananá" and "ananás." It suffices to say that the word ananas has nothing to lose but its chains. It has a world to win.

ANANASES OF THE WORLD UNITE!
