See sig. A lot of people have told me they thought I was male because my username has a masculine Latin ending, or something like that. One person said s/he thought I was a guy because it sounded like a spell in a video game. [Nope](http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/hearing-diagram-2.gif), totally unrelated. ---
