Yeah, I was gonna say... wtf, it's not BS, nor is it trendy. (It also isn't a differential thing between KH and FFVII, either.) It was a mistranslation in the original game, and although I'm cool with people calling her either one, it's pretty dumb to say that the intended spelling of it is annoying. D: Do your homework before making complaints against people who are actually using a more accurate version of the name, plz. (I'm not even a big Aerith fan at all, but yeah, Lina's right-on with the background.)
On an added note, a similar mistranslation happened with Shera; her name was mistranslated as "Shera" when her actual name was supposed to be "Sierra," which is where the weird confusion over the name of Cid's new airship in AC comes from. I personally prefer to call her Shera, but Sierra is also fine by me. ::Shrug.:: Not a big fan of the Cid/Shera pairing, anyway. XD ...At least, I THINK that was a mistranslation. XD; I might be getting it wrong.
