i'm probably going to go out on a limb here and possibly make a few enemies but...
does anyone else get annoyed when american gamers call 'aeris' 'aerith'? it seems to me to be one of the easiest ways to spot a poseur. (not that all gamers who use that spelling are poseurs.) anyway, i mean, sure the japanese don't have a legitimate 's' sound, but americans do and her name was aeris. i understand the origins of aerith and all but i just hate reading it because aeris sounds prettier than aerith. (to me, then again, i've been told i mispronounce it anyway.) i guess to each his own...doesn't mean it annoys me any less.
