Things in games you mispronounced as a kid, but still do out of habit?

Big Boss · February 12, 2016, 08:43:59 PM

Pokemon:
I still pronounce 'Ether' like 'Heather'
I still call it the EXP share, not 'Experience Share'
I still pronounce Cipher like 'Ciffer

Even though Final Fantasy X is actually Final Fantasy 10, I still say X

That's all I can think of right now. Do you have any?

Since OR/AS

He's so powerful, he was banned in Ubers.

They had to make a new tier specifically for him, called "anything goes."

The Bandolier perk from CoD WaW.

I still can't remember how to pronounce it. Is it "Ban-doh-li-er" or "Band-o-leer"?

The latter

I always call Samara in ME2 "Suh-mare-uh"
fully intentional, lower tone, and emphasizing the second syllable.

^ Official Pokémon name pronunciations. Any Pokémon you mispronounce?

Nidoran♀, Nidorina, Nidoqueen - I pronounce "Nido-" like "Niddoh" instead of "Needoh," like you're supposed to.
Nidoran♂, Nidorino, Nidoking - See above.
Omastar - I pronounce "Oma-" like "Ohmuh" instead of "Awmuh," but for some reason, I pronounce Omanyte correctly.
Kabutops - I pronounce it the same as "Kabuto," but with "-awps" at the end. This is pretty off from "KAH-boo-tops."
Moltres - You're supposed to pronounce the "-tres" like the Spanish word "très," but I say "triss."

all right i don't really care to watch past gen i tbh

He's already a dragon, his standard form is Mega.

I'd imagine he's basically a god at this point.

"Awk-uh-rina" is the official pronunciation.

Super Smash Bros. Melee:

"May-lay" is how I've always said it (which I'm pretty sure is the correction version), but my friends tried to convince me it was "Mee-lee"

and one time I heard it said "may-lee".
