The list! Curse my attention-whoring! I should have left well enough alone. I had used **|no** several times before now without making the list. I could probably have gotten away with it a few more times. Curses! And I’m going to have to stand between Steve McQueen and that bastard that invented sans serif fonts too! Enjoy, Steven ---

Is it lno, pronounced “lenno” like Jay. Or is is it lno, pronounced “Liono” of Thundercats fame? Either way I feel you pain man. Lots of people call me moejunk. ---

Actually, “ **lno** ” is pronounced, “Royal Luxury Yacht.” He’s Welsh. My name, on the other hand, is pronounced, “lno.” ---

You got it, **lleu** and **Scrlbble**. It’s pronounced “ellen-o”, like the Irish version of Ellen. Well, O’Ellen, but you can’t have everything your way, or so they tell me. ---

When I see **|no** I think B & O, as in B&O Railroad. That makes me think of Monopoly, and that makes me think of the times my mother(my own mother!) used to mercilessly bankrupt me by inches in games that would last hours. Of humiliating defeats where I had to sell all my houses and hotels and mortgage all my properties as she built hotels on Boardwalk and Park Place. That’s what I think of when I see **|no**. Enjoy, Steven ---
