Considering that FF6 is the only RPG that's ever had the Vanish spell...

If you're going to be a grammar Nazi, at least do your homework. :wink: "Phenomena" is the proper plural of "phemonenon", and is often used as a singular noun to refer to a group of interrelated events as a collective unit.

"Would of" is commonly used to mean "Would
have", but that doesn't make it right.

Don't be deliberately obtuse. The practice of using a plural noun as a collective singular is perfectly valid grammatical construction - as anyone who actually speaks or reads English above a sixth-grade level should well know. :wink:

And were Grievre anything other than what he is--a nitpicky, trollish ass--he'd agree with you.

Oh and Grievre, if you're going to be a troll, at least be the kind that's good for a laugh...
