I do the same thing. (Think he’s you, that is.) I used to think fessie was me, too, and in my “changed my name” thread she said she made the same mistake.
And mine as “Mangytrout”. Yikes.
norinew always has been and always will be one word to me. Sorry, Norine.
And I missed the Throatwarbler Mangrove joke somehow. Can someone link me to the appropriate thread or something?

It’s from Monty Python’s Flying Circus, a sketch involving a guy whose name is “Raymond Luxury-Yacht” but “it’s pronounced Throatwarbler Mangrove.” YouTube clip here.
ETA: Or, what Leaffan said.

And this is nuts, but to me **Sampiro ** reads out as Sampire-O, to where it would read as rhyming with vampire, so even though one has nothing to really do with the other, **Sampiro ** is a vampire to me.
[/QUOTE]
Lately, I’ve been picturing Sampiro looking like Santino from Project Runway. Ironically, when I was Googling for a picture of him I came across a guy calling himself the Vampire Santino. Dude seems to take himself seriously. Or it’s Sampiro just messing with us.
I still think of norinew as nor I (k)new, even though I’ve always known better.

…I thought ChiefScott was ChefScott. Sorry, man!

Add my apologies too. I do the same thing.
Now, everyone raise your hands if you think my name is pronouced Tee-Kee. It’s Tic-Kee, you silly geese!

Actually, the word Sampiro refers to an Albanian vampire.
When I see pulykamell my brain voice pronounces it as “pukey camel.”
I kind of like her, too, but her name will always reflect a nauseated dromedary to me.

I may be wrong (since pulykamell ditched out on the dopefest and all 
), but I believe that’s a male you’re talking about.

I always read Der Trihs as “The Thris” and wonder what the heck a “Thris” is, even though I *know *it’s just “Red Shirt” backwards.
[/QUOTE]
I always thought it was some German thing myself, like “Der Kommissar” or something-I’m kind of disillusioned actually that it merely means “red shirt”. Perhaps then I shall change my handle to “Setor Dmeh” and make people think I’m referencing some alien political leader from a Jerry Pournelle novel or something…
I keep mentally adding an extra ‘R’ to eleanorigby’s name.
In a somewhat-related vein, the local public broadcasting network is KPBS, and now that I’ve lived here for 10+ years, I’m given to misread KBPS as KPBS.
I’m constantly confusing** Justin Credible **and **Justin_Bailey **since the former recently joined.
Also, **asterion **is the bane of my existence.
I have to admit, Happy, I have to go back and reread your name every time because I always think it says Ledbedder at first.
Like the Pearl Jam song.
That may be how Eddie Vedder sings it but the song is Yellow Ledbetter.
I also recently found out that, having ridden myself of confusion with fessie, I can now get myself confused with Helen’s Eidolon. C’est la Dope.

You might very well be right. I think I just view Puly as female after reading (her? his?) remark about something “really frosts my tits”, or something like that.
Puly, if you’re a dude, I apologize.
Aesiron, I figured and did a check, but nearly everybody mispells it, so I figured what the heck.
I listen to nearly all my music on the radio, so I never learned how to spell.

Alas, this heir has less and less hair…
If I mis-read names, I don’t know it, but I’m as guilty as anyone of interchanging posters whose names have the same initial letter and general length (and capitalization).
The latest pair is Idle Thoughts and Incubus. It totally changed the character of my thoughts towards Idle’s girlfriend in a recent advice thread when I realized that she wasn’t the person that Incubus had described previously. (Saying more would be dangerous–especially since for all I can be certain of, the previously described person was associated with someone else).

Sorry, just noticed this thread today. Yeah, I’m a guy. I probably used the phrase “gets on my tits.” I thought it was a universal expression, but it seems that I must have picked it up from one of my English or Scottish friends.
Gatopescado always read as gay-toe es-ca-pee-doh to me.
msmith I always think as Miz Smith.
“Enright3” is pronounced “Shar-Day 3”
