Line 41:
* Call the characters of ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'' by their Tokyopop or 4Kids names. Go on, I dare you. For an added bonus, [[Tokyo Mew Mew Discussion|try doing it anywhere on this site. (Go to the archive.)]]
* Do '''NOT''' call Roronoa Zoro "Zolo". Ever. Unless you ''want'' everyone at the ''[[One Piece]]'' forum you visit (with the obvious exception of [[Four Kids Entertainment|4KidsTV's]]) to hate you. Also, never ''ever'' call Luffy simply "Monkey". Other dub spellings provoke similar reactions.
** What if you know his name is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran<!-- C3A7ois_l%C3%A7ois_l%27Olonnais l'Olonnois]] Zorro (it has two Rs, WordOfGod[[Word of God]] says it's ''that'' {{[[Zorro}}]])? -->
** [[None Piece|We all know his name is Zoro Zolo.]]
* ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]''

* James Cameron's ''[[Avatar]]'':
** An "avatar" is a [[http://james-camerons-avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Avatar_<!-- 28species29%28species%29 transgenic half-breed telepathically controlled by a human]]. Go to any collective forum for this movie and [[IAmNotShazamI Am Not Shazam|call any one person in the film Avatar, or call the Na'vi "Avatars"]], or ask what this has to do with ''{{[[Avatar: The Last Airbender}}]]'', and chances are you'll get a front row seat to a FlameWar[[Flame War]]. The same goes for referring to the Na'vi (literally meaning The People) as 'Na'vis' (technically, 'the Na'vi' is DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment[[Department of Redundancy Department]] if you go by a literal translation, but ignored for practicality since it also refers to them in a species context). Other mangling of names cause annoyance, such as 'Navi', 'Ney'tiri'/'Neyti'ri' or other omissions or addition of apostrophes. [[CallASmeerpARabbitCall a Smeerp A Rabbit|Calling ikran/toruk 'dragons']] will cause a lot of annoyance, especially since if you don't want to use the actual name, there are even convenient English versions, and can be considered particularly {{egregious}}[[Egregious]] due to the obvious fact that they are not. -->
*** Presumably they also wouldn't like it if you pointed out that an avatar is a ''virtual'' representation (in this context, not the Hindu one). A ''corporeal'' representation...is called a [[Unfortunate Name|waldo]], after an early example in a [[Robert A. Heinlein]] story. That wouldn't look ''nearly'' as cool on the poster over the Na'vi eyes, though.
**** It's only in the digital world that "avatar" refers to a virtual representation. Outside of the specific meanings (Hindu, digital, and the movie Avatar) the general definition of an avatar is any embodiment or personification, so it's not really correct to say that an avatar must be virtual.
Line 322:
* In-universe example for ''[[Superman the Animated Series]]'': When [[Superman]] mispronounces the name of Mr. Mxyzptlk (Mix-Yes-Spit-Lick) as Mr. Miz-Ill-Plick, said [[Reality Warper]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHJuEbNB0u8 promptly corrects him on it]. This was done as a [[Take That]] to how his name was mispronounced in the original [[Super Friends]] cartoon.
* The aftermath of asking most fans what Robin's real name is in ''[[Teen Titans (Animation)|Teen Titans]]'' [[Internet Backdraft|will definitely not be pretty.]]
* Confusing ''[[My Little Pony]]'' characters for each other. Its especially bad with the drift between "classic" fans and the "bronies" of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''. Confusing [[http://ponibooru.413chan.net/_images/a3ae48623fda7a0008bbc28e4c8c453c/7155%20-<!-- 20applejack20g1%20applejack%20g1%20glory.png Glory]] for [[http://ponibooru.413chan.net/_images/d17349598ff492b34dd880bce902dda7/36846%20-%20Hasbro%20official%20rarity%20vector.png Rarity]] is a bad idea, and believing Glory was the inspiration for Rarity is just as bad of an offense (she's based off [[http://mylittlewiki.org/w/images/4/4f/Sparkler_cartoon.PNG Sparkler]]). -->
* ''[[Family Guy]]'' fans hate it when people and the media call it ''The Family Guy''.
* There was a small incident in the ''[[Transformers Prime]]'' fandom, right after episoe 21 aired, when someone who shall remain nameless for their own safety perpetuated a rumor via Wikipedia that episode 22 would be named something along the lines of "one bot, two bots, red bots, blue bots" or some such thing like that, and somehow several people fell for it. It was even uploaded onto Youtube with that name, but ended up being [[Jossed|completely wrong.]]
