The Day the Earth Stood Stupid, The Big Brain, Transcript How "reason" was misspelt.
Alternative spellings include "raisin".
Spelling rason
It is pronounced similar to, say "raisin", but "rason" is a much more reasonable misspelling of "reason". As it would make "sense" for Fry to leave out the e. Instead of replacing a and o with i.
Yes
