| i think the word you were looking for was "bonding" but it sounds good either way. |

| sounds unique when it's not exactly a new word but an old one revamped. U can say it's not regular binding or bonding but something on another level - totally new to humanity so it needs a new word. Just keep it consistant - if somebody starts using a different word, have someone else correct them and explain - this is not the same as the old one. |

| You sure it's not supposed to be "Bonded with" instead of "Bounded with"? |

| why not just "linked"? Bounded sounds like they would become one person at all, like fusion in dragon ball Z, and binded souns like they would be tied with a rope...
Qell, at least for me... |

| I think it just sounds weird at first because 'bound' is already in past tense, its the '-ed' version of bind. Adding an '-ed' suffix onto something that doesnt naturall have one just feels a little off. Hehe, in computer tech the other day, some girl came in with a bag of vegetables she grew in horticulture. Somebody asked 'did you grow them?' and she said 'Yeah, I growed them' 'No, you GREW them!' 'Thats what I said, I growed them!'... There was about ten minutes of grew/growed until both sides gave up.
You said earlier that neurosynchronization was a long word. How about 'N-sych' for short? or is it too much like that band...? |

| Well, I ended up changing it to "binded". The more I look at it the more uncomfortable I became, so I just gave in and edited the word. I checked my notes and found that "binded" was my original word anyway. I don't know what pushed me to use "bound"... |

| Now, I don't speak English so I may be REALLY wrong, but if what Ameides said is right (remember before screaming bad things at me Ameides, I don't know, my language isn't english) then the word isn't either bounded or binded, just bound...
But I still think linked is better (maybe because I read too much Moon of Dragons (probably translated wrong), where the flying ones develop a mental link with their partner and can kinda feel what the other feels or something like that...). |

| *smacks head* That's true. I was supposed to make it bonded...not binded...I can't believe I got it wrong AGAIN even after all the discussion above... I'll fix that...later -_- |

| Ha...I changed it again. I didn't like "bond" so I used bind AND bound (I changed the tenses of the sentence around) |
