But nothing breaks the power of bonds

Things that will piss off Sonic fans:

  • Referring to rings as "coins".
  • Calling Super Shadow "Hyper Shadow" (one gaming magazine erroneously captioned a picture of Super Shadow as Hyper Shadow, causing fans to insist that that was the correct term even though the same magazine later claimed it was a mistake).
  • Pluralising "Chao" as "Chaos" ("Chao" is both singular and plural, like "sheep" or "Pokémon". Not to mention that "Chaos" looks like another word entirely).
  • Saying that "Chao" is pronounced "kay-o" (it's pronounced "chow", like "chow down" or "Chow Yun Fat")
  • Calling Tails "Tails the Fox" (His name is Miles "Tails" Prower, or Tails for short. He's one of the few characters that don't have a "Character the Species" name, the others being Amy Rose and Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, although Amy was originally named Rosy the Rascal.)
  • Referring to Super Tails (from Sonic 3 & Knuckles) as Turbo Tails (Turbo Tails was a completely separate alternate version of Tails that only appeared in Sonic the Comic).
  • Referring to Tails as female (This was a common mistake made by Japanese fans (and many English-speaking fans too) when Sonic the Hedgehog 2 first came out - they thought that Tails was female because he was always following Sonic around (and his design looked quite feminine too, especially in sprite form). The Mexican Spanish dub of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog even referred to Tails as a female character.)
  •  Whichever name you use for the main villain, there will be people who insist on using the other name. Sega have attempted to mitigate this somewhat by claiming that both names are correct - his real name is Dr. Ivo Robotnik (with "Ivo" being pronounced "ee-vo", rather than "eye-vo" as everyone tends to pronounce it - it's supposed to be a homonym for "evil", as well as being "ovi", Latin for "eggs", spelled backwards), with "Eggman" being a nickname (which the comics explain was originally a nickname he was called as an insult, but he took the name and gave it power, forming the Eggman Empire).
Debunking of rumours:

  • While it is true that Sonic Team wanted Jaleel White (who portrayed Sonic in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic The Hedgehog (a.k.a. Sonic SatAM) and Sonic Underground) to voice Classic Sonic in Sonic Generations, it's not true that Jaleel turned down the role or that he demanded too much money for it. In fact, Jaleel tweeted that he was never even approached by Sonic Team about the role.
  • In Sonic Adventure 2's Chao Garden, Energy Chao and the White Market don't exist.
  • There is no "Team Metal" in Sonic Heroes (rumour had it that getting an A Rank on all stages would unlock Metal Sonic, just like it does in Sonic Adventure, and that rather than being just a simple reskin, this would actually unlock an extra mode called Team Metal, who would chase Team Sonic through difficult stages). The only unlockable mode in Sonic Heroes is Hard Mode.

EDIT: WARNING ABOUT DANGEROUS FILES Avoid listening to any files with the name of a certain Disney movie about a deer (colloquially referred to as Disney Deer files, or DD files). They are designed to create an alter with that name in whoever listens to them, who will slowly take them over. The files market themselves as just a fantasy, but they are designed enough in a way where that fantasy becomes reality, and if you're not prepared for that or okay with it, it can actually do genuine psychological harm to you. Plus, the triggers are extremely common and open, with no safeties attached to them whatsoever. Twilight's List of Hypno-Predators and Hypno-Abusers The following is a list of all people I know to be predators, abusers, or just general assholes, as well as some known victims/recruiters. Hopefully this will be helpful to some people. What is a predator? The definition varies, but basically it's someone who uses hypnosis irresponsibly and recklessly, with no

Get ready, time for a lesson!

So I deal with a lot of Latin phrases in the course I take (Business Management), so I thought I'd take this time to waste all of your time telling how to correctly pronounce Latin! Latin is phonetic, remember that. It's always the same pronunciation, no matter what the word looks like. Vowels: A - Short as in cat, long as in father E - Short as in pet, long as in they I - Short as in pit, long as in machine O - Short as in got, long as in holy U - Short as in put, long as in true Distinction between short and long vowels is usually done with an accent, but all vowels in all words can be either long or short, depending on how you say the word. Consonants - Note that c and g are always hard in Latin (that means c is always pronounced as in camel and g is always as in goat). V is pronounced like W. As any Indiana Jones fan will tell you, in the Latin alphabet, Jehovah begins with an I - this is because the Latin alphabet HAS no J. Some Latin words are usually written with a J, bu
