"The closest way you can say "Earth" in Japanese syllables is 'earisu'" That... isn't true, actually. "Earth" is pronounced "Āsu" in Japanese phonetics. However, I can't think of a way to correct the example without invalidating its entire point, since I don't know the real story behind Aerith's name other than it was supposed to be a play on the word "Earth" to contrast with the protagonist being named "Cloud".

"You can get even more confusing with "tension" - which can mean excitement. Think of an upcoming game, battle, Cooking Duel, or somesuch. Leaving it turns the character's feelings of "Oh, yeah!" into "Oh, Crap!!" - the exact opposite of what the writer intended the speaker to be feeling."
Sorry, **what?!** It's not clear what this is talking about.
