I vote for Metriod.

Everyone does this. It must be the close proximity of the "i" to the "o", but if you do a search on this forum, you get 64 instances of this. If you do a search on TXB, you get 167 instances. This must be a perplexing word to spell correctly.

For the longest time I typed "Kamtari Damacy", and I still often misspell the Sony president's name.

 

[Grubdog]

Heh, my mum calls it Mergatroid.

 

[Do The Mario]

Baldur's Gate takes a pounding!

 

[Gchaime]

M$ instead of MS.

Rouge Leader - I feel bad everytime I see that
Also people didn't know how to say Sega until Sonic came out.

[aku:jiki]

Easily Miyamoto or Molyneux, since they're both hard to spell (I guess?) and pretty popular.

I've had some trouble to spell Nobuo Uematsu correctly.

You've actually seen this mistake?

Sorry I missed the September thread.

 

[Trevelyon]

Katamari Damacy & Shin Megami Tensei are shockers in pronunciation department.

 

[dog$]

Sorry I missed the September thread.

Oh so I should link to an old thread at random that has no pertinence to your present discussion instead? Done.

I work in retail, and get my fair share of odd requests.

For pronounciation, Donkey Kong takes the cake. Most people around here call it Honkey Donk. Some call it Hong Dong or Dong Hong. Then there's, of course, King Kong.

GameCube is evidently not too easy to say, either. I've lost count of all the different ways to say it, but many of them include "X" or "Box" somewhere.

Others:

Pokémon: Pokermon. Pokeman. Pokerman.
Pikmin: Pikman. Pikemin. Pikeman. Pikemon.
Baldur's Gate: Baller's Skates
Donkey Konga: Funky Conga

Just a couple of recent ones.

 

[mumu]

Pokémon: Pokermon. Pokeman. Pokerman.

:lol

 

[Do The Mario]

I think the dad asking for poker man was disappointed when he got home

How about Deus Ex? bet that goes down well.

In Everquest - fraction instead of faction. Gahhh....

 

[SteveMeister]

Morrowing

 

[ManDudeChild]

Surely some of you are just making stuff up ... right? I mean Morrowing, fractions, Mergatroid, common.

You haven't? More often it's one word or the other that people get wrong, but there are plenty of times I've seen both. <shudder>

 

[FitzOfRage]

Probably not very common, but when I was a kid, my dad used to always leave the first N off of Nintendo. So he'd say "turn off that Intendo" and it was always annoying.

 

[borghe]

Someone else bitched about this earlier, but I really find it annoying when people write:

HIDEOS (It's not fucking HIDEO KOJIMA reference)

When they actually mean to type HIDEOUS

And to GAFers,

RIDICULOUS

I can't believe how widespread this "rediculous" nonsense is. Have you not passed 5th grade?

 

[donzongrady]

Another one - Windwalker instead of Windwaker for Zelda.

 

[MrPing1000]

M$ instead of MS.

The more professional version. MicroDollar

If we're going outside the scope of purely gaming errors, then I'd like to complain about the stupid people who use the phrase "The proof is in the pudding." I feel this should be a bannable offence. Failing that, capital punishment would be appropriate.

Addicting. As in, I am addicting you to crack cocaine, whether you like it or not. I think you will probably find it to be very addictive.

I can't stand it when people describe a game as being 'addicting'

The reason I'd never complained about this before was because I thought it really might have been some Kojima in-joke I'd missed out on.

The ones that bug me most (Metriod and Rouge) have already been mentioned.

Easily the mis-pronunciation of Ryu. So, how do you say it?

The expression "on accident" is worse than Hitler.

It is BY ACCIDENT you illiterate fucks. No wonder there are no flying cars. Troglodytes like you are keeping us trapped on Earth.
