Ha ha. Funny thing is, I've been using a variation of my username for years and have had variations on how to pronounce it. By now I've just gone by what EricKei has said. And yes I'm slightly fuzzy and squishy!
Speaking of first names, I've got a simple first name that shouldn't be hard to pronounce or, hell, spell as I'm named after a month. Should be easy, right? I mean, kids are still taught the spelling of the twelve months, correct? At least with my last name I can understand.
Eh, one day I'll have something useful here. Until then, have a cookie or two.
“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

My last name contains, in that order, an L and an I. If printed all in caps (common) the L and I tend to merge together, and my married name becomes a VERY COMMON cuss word.
In Ontario a while back, there was an energy conservation campaign encouraging people to turn off unneeded lights. The slogan was "Flick off" (as in flick the switch to the off position). The font they used made it look like the L and I were merged.
Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

Yup. A nearby town advertises 'Food & A Flick' during the summer - movies in the park, all that. Naturally, all the signs are in all-caps sans serif fonts, so...yeah.
Cheap, fast, good. Pick two.
They want us to read minds, I want read/write.
