And I like to pronounce drow like snow because it sounds better, softer, more likely to sneak up on you in the dark and put a dagger in your back. Ask youself which is easier to say quietly and I think my point is well made. Notice that saying you pronounce it like row is quite ambiguous since row can be pronounced with both ow sounds.But my big peeves about terminology involve ambiguity and bad attempts to hide source inspirations. Spontaneous metamagic vs 1 round casting times - both are full round actions but are yet different (based on what I've been told by Skip) but the difference is never clearly spelled out, leading to different interpretations by DMs. Ambiguity bad, clarity good, and an ambiguity persisting too long to not be a peeve of mine.I also was peeved by a Sean K. Reynolds rant about the spelling of mithral (and not, oh no, NOT mithril). As if it wasn't inspired pretty much directly by mithril in Lord of the Rings. That certainly hit a peeve of mine... getting all ranty about something that insignificant when, as players, it shouldn't matter if we use the spellings interchangeably since they mean pretty much the same thing anyway.</blockquote>
