    That's a matter of opinion. Americans don't care much for adding those extra u's to every other word. :P

    In this case, he means that I'm spelling the name of the battle system correctly. Square Enix actually does localize the English client according to American grammar due to the larger consumer base unless making stylistic choices on named elements, which is what they've done here.

    We'd go down to the armory to grab our weapons, but if you called it the "Armory System," you'd be mistaken. Check out the American version of the game's website. It's quite frequently misspelled by players.



    EDIT: I'd pay to see the statistics on how the errors in the spelling of Armoury System compare to the errors in pronunciation of Thaumaturge or Leve, now that I think about it...
