This is something that has been annoying me for a long time now, perhaps something you've had with someone of your friends about particular games, but the way people pronounce games (and actually read them, the illiterate gits) really gets to me. A prime example of something I just HAVE to tell you lot about.
We all know Dynasty Warriors, right? Well, my friends must've invented a new game, as they ask:
"Do you have Destiny Warriors 2?", and so a conversation begins:
"Er...you mean Dynasty Warriors, right?"
"No...it's Destiny Warriors."
"Then why on the case does it...ah, never mind."
People in this day and age must be the biggest group of illiterates ever...or I just hang out with utter twonks. All my friends call Dynasty Warriors Destiny Warriors and Deus Ex Dues Ex (Juice-X).
So, any of your friends make dumb-bum (bloody language filter!) misproununciations?

How are you supposed to say it? Is it actually said die-nasty or dinesty?
My sister calls it destiny warriors, I don't know why, she can read so should be able to call the game by real it's name.
That said I myself have called games by a different name before, mainly because I didn't register how you pronounced the names until someone told me exactly how it should be said. I don't know why this was.
One example is from Gran Turismo which when I first saw it, I called Grand Tourism. Wierd.

Yes, my friend did it and yes i did correct him. (Un-educated freak)
