I would like a ritual burning of the term everypony. We didn't need it for 20 years. We don't need it now. Basically. It just sounds massively patronising and (especially in G4), kind of exclusive considering that there were a lot of non-pony species. I don't know if that will happen in G5, so it may not matter, but it still needs to go.

"everypony" instead of "everybody" is bad but "everycreature" is worse to me. When FIM started the story line about the School of Friendship they started using that when talking to animals that aren't ponies. Ponyfan
I've said it before, I'll say it again, I just don't get WHY "everypony" exists in the first place. Everybody, everyone, how are those "human-specific" terms??? We don't say "everyhuman"!!! It just sounds so stupid and forced. "Everycreature", oh my god... gotta hand it to them, I never thought they could get worse than "everypony", but there you have it. x)
When I have to go back to the office I’m going to address my team as “Hey Everycreature!!” And just see how bad that goes over. Everypony was silly, but it never bothered me much one way or the other. Everycreature though was just stupid. At some point you’ve got to admit your cutesy little word games aren’t working anymore and go back to everyday terms. As it’s already been pointed out, they all have bodies….that’s not like, and exclusively human thing.

I personally like it as an alternative, and out of nostalgia (but respect those who don't), but I don't like it as a replacement - I'm actually going to try to make it seem like an alternative in my project, as it never made sense as a replacment (ponies have bodies, and can be one pony - there was nothing human about saying "everybody" or "everyone".)So yeah, it should have been an alternative in my opinion. I also didn't like hater-bronies made a song and dance about "everybody" being said on previous generations, when they (presumably) didn't butter their eyes at it being said on G4.
