A couple of pet peeves in fandom spellings and names

  • People calling the manga Tsubasa Chronicle. It's understandable if they don't read it and just follow the anime, but if they own the bloody thing and read it, then I want to smash them with a mallot. RESERVOIR, RESERVOIR!

  • This may be a typo most of the times, but it irks me when I see Cardcaptor Sakura abbreviated as "CSS". As I'm a webmistress, it sort of confuses me, as that's the acronymous for cascade stylesheet.
    So I'm hoping to see someday the following question:
    "what's ur fav css couple?"
    so I can answer, with sarcasm
    "I ship a:cest in general, but I'm addicted to a:hover/a:link! Their love is so cursor kinky!"
    Yes, it'd be funnier if you knew CSS.

  • This one is an oldie. The Sakurazukamori's name is Seishirou, or Seishiro if you're used to translations. Changing one letter changes the whole thing. So really, learn it well and don't write Seichirou or Seichiro. Because that sounds eerily similar to Seiichirou or Seiichiro. Who is, as you know, the Dragon of Heaven with glasses who's a windmaster.
    So suddenly reading that someone supports "Seichirou/Subaru" is, um... interesting.
    It doesn't help that some of my own old edition volumes by Planeta actually confuse the spellings *facepalm* At least that's fixed later on the series. Maybe Spanish SeiSub fans approached them with pitchforks.

    In the year 2006 I resolve to:

    Point and laugh more.
