Huh. I'm surprised. Perhaps it's just an un-common name. Or not one really heard where I live. At least for most guys. I don't think Dominick is a super common name either.

Defiantly when they actually mean definitely just blows my mind. How did that even come about? Completely different words that aren't even similar in definition..
probably auto correct,for some reason when you misspell definitely (like i sometimes mix up the l and e),defiantly is the first word to come up

Rest in peace, Paris Caper...
I get so annoyed when people call Ciela from Phantom Hourglass Ceilia or Ceila. I started noticing this after I actually met someone in real life named Ciela. It's such a beautiful name, and it's so sad when people get it wrong, especially considering the prominence of that misspelling. It's actually based on the Spanish word for sky or heavens... isn't that gorgeous?

Rock and roll will never die
Just remembered one in the spirit of Christmas inevitably coming now: when people say Deers/reindeers. It's deer and reindeer. Why is plural so hard to understand?

The "zee" vs "zed" thing. Neither one is more correct than the other, it's just disconcerting to hear the one you're not used to.

Is that a regional thing (US vs. UK), or where does that come from anyway? I find myself saying Zee when I used to say Zed, and have been wondering why. My pronounciation of English words slowly became more American over the years (I say stupid when I used to say stjupid), though I'm not sure if the Zee/Zed thing is even due to that.

Yeah its regional, I know that the UK, Australia and New Zealand all use "zed" but I'm not sure about Canada.
No it's not that uncommon in Canada either. But, it's not as common as the others though because Canada is bit blended between UK and US culture and spellings.
It is rather annoying to see "Tri Force" split up like that, though that's the way it seems to be stylised in the logo. It can most likely be assumed to be a play on words. I'd guess that three Links would make for a tri force of heroes (an organised group of personnel times three) as opposed to the object "triforce", but since we all know Link uses the triforce, and is a hero... well, you see what I'm getting at. Hopefully.

The French also pronounce the letter z as "zed." Canadians say both "zee" or "zed," but it varies from person to person.
Speaking of letter pronunciation, the letter w in the English langauge makes me furious. It's pronounced as a "double-u," but when it's either written or typed, it's stylized as a "double-v." The French have it right when it comes pronouncing it -- it's pronounced as "du-blah-vey," or with a double v sound.

"New-cue-lur." It's supposed to be "new-clear."
