Ok, maybe this post is a little unnecessary. But the number of people that somehow are unable to read the word "FOMOR" is getting on my nerves.... yes, it is a made up word, but if you actually read the word, THERE IS NO "R" IN THE MIDDLE!!

Please stop referring to them as "formors"... take a second to READ the name of the mob before you type it.


It reminds me of a couple years back in one LS I was in referred to "ENMITY" as EH-NIM-ITEE...

You can call me a grammar nazi, I don't care. But this is getting stupid. =/

How about the folks who keep saying they like to chill in Jueno ?

I believe U.S.A. players are the worst offenders on this one. (lol no hard feelings, I just find it interesting)

Look...until a couple of days ago, I may have been calling Sarutabaruta the wrong name for like a decade out of just a complete lack of effort in attempting to actually read it.

I've always called it Sarbatchuwa.

But not as a matter of mispronunciation, but rather because it was an apt description of players' experiences in that area.

Another one that gets on my nerves is the people who pronounce Mhaura as "MUH-HARA".... when it's obviously "MARRA".

I like to call Tonberry hell "The Temple of Ugly Pie" but that's more of a lulz thing to myself than anything.

Fomor is not a made up word, at least not anymore so than any of the other words in this sentence.
