    Question Why do most people...

    Keep spelling Ys as Y's!? There is no apostrophe in Ys! Sometimes I feel like smacking them upside the head and making them correct it. Sorry if this has been asked before but I just needed to get this out of my system. *phew*

    Because they pronounce it wrong. Seems like a lot of people (maybe even most people) pronounce it "Wise" so they spell it how they think it sounds. "Why's."

    Its because one of the U.S. releases back in the 90's had a apostrophe in the title.

    It's not just limited to the U.S., sadly!

    Curious if that error is also on the TG16 CD for Ys I & II, since Hudson released that before Dawn of Ys.

    IIRC, that error was not on the US release of Ys I and II for the TG-16.
