Or you can even call me el-no. But not eye-no, nor in-oh, nor eye-en-oh.
l understand that this is due to fonts. l don’t take any of this personaIIy, since lno by itseIf over on the Ieft side of the screen aImost Iooks Iike a sans-serif version of Ino. What confuses me, though, is when peopIe quote me, but stiII have
in their post. ls the vBuIIetin software pIotting against me? TruIy, a diIemma.
lt makes me wonder if this problem is pureIy specific to me. Does this happen to other peopIe on a daiIy basis, where peopIe confuse I and l? lf so, poor UkuIeIe lke shouId be apopIetic with rage.
Or is this a gueriIIa movement to get me to change back to LNO? l won’t, and you can’t make me. l’m much too Iazy to return to my originaI name. Not gonna happen.
This doesn’t quite make my rage burn with the fires of a miIIion suns, nor even simmer with the rage of overcooked pasta. l’ve resigned myseIf to the fact that l’ll have to accept this.

Similar problem to yours. My middle name is a family name from, oh, a few hundred years or so, from about the 1750s to the early 1900s. It is a variation on Brian, and every year the uncle of mine (father’s side, which is the same as the side the name’s on) who does the calender messes up my middle name, and for YEARS we would write and say “here is how you spell my middle name.”
We just plumb fucking gave up because every year he fucked it up.
Can’t you just change the capitalization when you log in, instead of going through the hassle of an official name change? I thought we could do that…we used to be able to do that…didn’t we?
While we’re on minor (or major) username annoyances here, I’d like to say that my username is NOT associated in any way with flaming people or being flamed! It does not have anything to do with drumming, either. In case you missed the explanation, it is given here.
