I kinda thought you were a chick. So not only do I not know how to read your screen nick…I can’t read your gender. As a person IRL that has a name that is constantly misspelled, I do feel your pain. Fake Me: “It is BRASSY! No, no not Brassei. Not BraxxieY. It is not Braseiiii WITH THREE MMM’S AND A SILENT Q!!!” Other person: “So it’s Brassquois?” Me: “Yes. Close enough.” ---

ii received a Handy Andy toolkit when I was 8. Real tools too. I learned to repair my Schwinn with them. Used that toolkit several years. Added a few screwdrivers that I needed to work on my bike.

What I want to know is is when the hell did all the Andrew’s in the world decide to switch names? When I was growing up there were Andys as far as the eye could see. Then one fateful day I met a Drew who had to explain to me that it was also short for Andrew. And overnight there were no more Andys anywhere, but Drews all over the goddamn place. ETA: point that I forgot to mention is that are you sure it isn’t iidrewiiii ---

I’m another one who thought it was iiandyiii and was going to post how I pretend to be Lawrence Welk to remember it…“2 and-a 3”. Then figured out from the OP that I was completely wrong. ---

It’s 3 minutes’ walk from the Virginia Square metro station, which means you can be at the Smithsonian museums, the Capitol, the Zoo, or any other downtown DC destination in 15-25 minutes. There’s a mall and several restaurants within walking distance (including a cheap all night pizza and sandwich place next door).

We don’t go out for breakfast much, but I’ll try and persuade my lovely wife. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/on-how-to-remember-how-to-properly-spell-my-user-name/726129.md?page=1)
