Do you still pronouce things wrong even though you KNOW?

Man brings back memories .. i used to say "choboco" and "shinra"...dunno why, i was young :tongue:

I always got them wrong. Not in FF, but it happens alot in Lord of the Rings, for some reason.

I prounounce things the way I want, whether it's correct or not.

I still pronounce Tidus, "Tie-dus" and Cid, "Sid", but I'm trying to start pronouncing them correctly.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I still haven't worked out how to pronounce Seifer's name, is it Saifer of Seefer? I use the first one but I bet its wrong.

I pronounce it with a long "I" like S-eye-fer

That's how your ment to say it. But I've gotten used to "Seefer",

i pronouce chocobo cho-ca-bo, but everyone else pronounces it as ch-co-bo.

And its Say-fer.

To fix this problem, I just say it how I want the first time and ignore anyone how says otherwise. I'm always right anyway, so what's there to discuss?

Yuff-ee. Which sounds much better. You-fee sounds like some fugitive Clown that strayed from the circus.

Similarly, they pronouce Aerith as "Aeris" hence the reason most people call her Aeris these days.

Same goes for Sephiroth -> Sephiros
