I don't know about that last one. I just don't like seeing "killed" in the article. Nobodies and Heartless, you could say, are inanimate objects, and you don't kill a lamp. That should hold true for all enemies, lesser or a character-Heartless/Nobody. When talking about human characters (Ansem the Wise), an alternate term should be used such as "annihilated", as "killed" seems to unprofessional and dark.}} | I don't know about that last one.

{{BebopKate|time=04:40, January 17, 2010 (UTC)|text=Ack, somehow I missed this last time out! Your additions look just fine. I do agree that annihilated or eliminated would be better choices for words, but that's a bit nitpicky to add to the Manual; my view is if someone really doesn't like it, it will eventually get changed.

As for the plural thing, granted you shouldn't argue with the MLA, but remember not everyone uses MLA either; I had to use APA standards while I was a teacher to present professional papers and presentations, for example. Ironic we teach MLA, but we don't actually use it. ^_^}} | As for the plural thing, granted you shouldn't argue with the MLA, but remember not everyone uses MLA either; I had to use APA standards while I was a teacher to present professional papers and presentations, for example.
