    Question Aeris or Aerith?

    We've probably had this thread before. Oh well, let's have it again!

    Do you call her Aeris or Aerith?

    I use them both interchangeably to be honest.

    (SPOILER)I was going to toss a cute picture up in this post but when I Google Image Searched all I got was porn, some of it involving Red XIII

    Aerith. I've used Aeris in the past, but now I've come to terms and accepted that it's Aerith, no matter what. I don't mind if others call her Aeris, but to me, she is Aerith.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Aerith, as well, though I generally say "Aeris" out loud. Yes, it's weird.

    I like them both to be honest. Sometimes I'll even use them both in the same sentence. I grew up with her as Aeris and it wasn't until I had already gotten use to saying it and reading it that I found out it was Aerith.

    As I said in my thread like this (like a year and a half ago, so it was time for a new one anyways)
    I think Aeris sounds nicer, but aerith looks nicer.
    Edit: or is it the other way around?

    I prefer Aerith, I feel it sounds nicer and I like it's symbolic meaning.

    I was partial to Aeris until the character began appearing as Aerith in every single piece of media outside of the original releases of the game.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    (SPOILER)You should switch your security settings to moderate.

    I always used Ares.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    Aries, because I haven't really grown attached to anything produced in the compilation.

    I use Aeris because;

    1. That's how it would actually pronounced in Japan anyway.
    2. It sounds... "cuter" to me, so it fits her better in my mind.
    3. I can't pronounce "th" sounds correctly - they come out as "Fs" and "Aerif" doesn't work in my my mind.

    Aeris. For some reason, I always read Aerith as if someone were saying it with a speech impediment.

    I see your reasoning.

    I type Aerith but I always say Aeris. It was corrected far too late for me to change how I pronounce it. Like how I still say "in-VEN-to-ry" instead of "IN-ven-to-ry" because I saw the word in books and video games for years before I actually heard the word pronounced out loud. It's so embarrassing xD
