I'm sick of Doper names that I read wrong!

For some reason several posters like to put a “g” in my user name.

As in “Who’s da Bos?”

igvylass? That’s just dumb.

:smiley: Yeah, yeah…

There’s an ‘e’ in TVblen? Whoops…

For some reason, people tend to add an ‘e’ to the end of my name, which is mildy annoying but at least the same name. I hate places where I can’t use an underscore or space in my name, because I often get referred to as ‘jay’, which is not only wrong, but a boys name as well. Doesn’t matter if I had it capitalised, they always miss the first N (or add the aforementioned ‘e’. Geesh, how hard is it to spell a name right that’s written right in front of you?).

It still takes me a minute to remember, ‘i am pun ha’ as opposed to ‘i am punha.’

Harumph!

For some reason, I keep thinking of Dionysus when I see Diogenes The Cynic’s name.

Also, Sampiro’s name is not Sam Piro.

I used to see it as “i am puhna,” which, in my mind, became “I am puma” (hear me roar . . .). :smack:

Heh.
::cue a sneeze from me, with bug legs spraying everywhere::

Me too, Miss Norma.

Yup, misreadings are a real pain in the ass ColonPhone. :wink:

Well so are yours Squirt! So There! :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s that Bosco Who Skies In His Drawers name that always gets to me.

Aheh.

Just call me semi-Conan.

As opposed to Semi-ramis.

Wouldn’t swampbeer be closer to the truth? :wink: Or do I have you mixed up with some other burly cute poster?

Cap’n! There’s a flirt thread off the starboard bow! It’s comin’ right for us!

[li]Saramamalana’s name has quite a nice ring to it when pronounced correctly, but every single time I see it I think “saramalama . . . ding dong.”[/li][/QUOTE]

Before I met saramamalana (and before she explained the meaning of her username), I read it in my head as sarma larma marma larma marma… Repeat forever. Like the idiot that I am, I thought it had some Hindi significance or something. Heh.

It’s not just names but thread titles too. Right now I’m reading about Why Eve Hates The Holiday Semen.

Oh, that’s what she calls Egg Nog, too?

:smiley:

It isn’t? :smack: I thought he was an illiterate firebug named Sam – silly me…
