Also if you recalled, theres also always historical background on ffxiclopedia.
Quote: Historical Background
In Irish mythology, the Fomor (also commonly called Fomorian, or plurial Fomori) were a demigod race which inhabited Ireland in ancient times. Some of them are depicted as goat-headed humans, though more commonly, they were viewed as giants. They are sometimes framed as representing chaos and wild nature, opposed to Tuatha Dé Danann representing civilization. The Fomor were associated with towers of glass in the western ocean (believed to be icebergs). Their name means "under the sea". There is some speculation they may be the gods of a pre-Gaelic population in Ireland, but the word Fomor later came to be applied to any pirates or seafaring raiders.
I didn't even think of that; my godmother is an Irish storyteller who travels around to various festivals and performs.

Also, people abbreviating PLD as PAL *really* annoys me.
Oh, also people using AGL instead of AGI, /rage

Most funny thing the Japanese call PLD "ナイト" or "ナ" (katakana for knight and it's abbreviation)...
Not only people call things with wrong names, Square themselves were hard at work to make things even more confusing.

Considering that abbreviations are shortened form of real words, there is no wrong or right. What really annoys me is people being annoyed when others say PAL instead of PLD when there is technically no "right" way, and it's obvious from your remarks that you knew they were referring to paladin (hence the point of abbreviations in the first place), successfully using their abbreviation.

-grand--air-

Garlaige Citadel was referred to as Garbage Shitadel in 2004-2005. It still is.

Since I don't use voice chat or know anyone who plays irl, I have been spared the abject horror of dealing with mispronounced, made up names.

Ok, maybe this post is a little unnecessary. But the number of people that somehow are unable to read the suffix "-ga" is getting on my nerves.... yes, it is a made up word, but if you actually read the word, THERE IS NO "-aga" AT THE END OF EVERY AoE SPELL!!
Please stop referring to them as "-aga spells"... take a second to READ the name of the spell before you type it.
Blizzaga
Firaga
Thundaga
Those are the only three with -aga at the end!
Waterga
Stonega
Aeroga
Banishga
Diaga
Curaga
All end with -ga!
You can call me a grammar nazi, I don't care. But this is getting stupid. =/

Why do you consider firaga an -aga spell when curaga follows the same process of dropping the e and adding aga? Yet you don't consider curaga an -aga spell. Your rules confuse me.

Except, there IS a right way; the ONLY way you see it used in-game outside of players themselves. But I understand the point you were trying to make, all the same. :P

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.
This is probably because the capital of Alaska is Juneau. Just curious, but how would you pronounce it?

you call them aga because ga is ambigous with greataxe and prior ffxi games used aga as an indicator of spell potency several times

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...
