Yo yo I keep seing "lion's course" when I glance at yours...
Am I getting dyslexic in my old age? Not really, but that's damned funny. I see weird stuff in people's usernames too ... same thing with spudone as you ... and that's how trmat got to be called Kermit, because that's what his name looks like to me. Also, as Kate points out and calls him, he's a Flyboy. |

Also, as Kate points out and calls him, he's a Flyboy. Yeah I know. The solution is quite obvious... Screen names are typically an amalgamation of words/names significant to the creator. The brain sees what is essentially jibberish, and tries to associate it with words it knows from experience. So it forces more common words into someplace they don't belong. |

Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: TAN #172: It's Summer, Suck up the TANkards! I swam from 9am to 9:30... after my field visit to a project site. I thought I wanted to run at lunch, but not feeling it. BUT, I could be done for the day if I just HTFU and do it? Then I can golf after work instead of run... Decisions decisions... And the dreadmill sucks if I go at lunch...

Does it stick out? Or can you spell every word in the universe, seen or unseen prior? I would love that gift... There are very few English words I don't know how to spell (including alternate spellings, like maneuver and maneouvre). Sometimes you can get me with a false cognate (an English word that seems to stem from a specific foreign word, but is actually unrelated). Truly new words stick out to me like a sore thumb because I don't recognize the shape, as do unfamiliar foreign words within an English text. |

Well I can read every 'word' of that. Not because I think I have a powerful mind but more likely because I grew up in a generation of shorthand crappy text messages. |
