Looks like a mod changed the title, I thought that kind of thing was FKL only?

Oh yeah right, the topic. Uh, I wouldn't let small things like that bother me. If you ignore it they'll eventually call you by your actual name.

Well, technically his name was in leet speak. >_>

For games with all the cool names taken, I use G3rb1ll (gerbil with a couple of extra L's). People tend to call me Gerb. I sort of like that one. My wife likes to put things like "g33k" or "n3rd" at the end of her name, and most people don't catch on (geek/nerd). Usually they take the first part of her name and add either the g or n, ignoring the 3's and everything after. My friends and I jokingly refer to one of her characters (Pandan3rd) as Pandan-third.

I'm actually surprised more people don't think of the real, ridiculous origin of my username.

That's what I always thought!

I just started taking a Linguistics class this semester and I realize now more than ever how messed up English itself is even without 1337.
For example take these words: enough, women, notion. Now based on how we pronounce those you could argue that you could spell "fish" as "ghoti."

My friends and I were calling it ghoti for a whole semester because of that

Urgh, I hate English. I'm just glad it was my first language, so I know it naturally, instead of having to come from a language that actually makes sense.

Except that in English, different word fragments are pronounced differently based on their placing and relationship with other letters within the same word.

Henceforth, a ghoti is now a style of facial hair.
