Crsbns:

Was a year before I realized that meant: crossed bones.  Until then I was thinking cross-buns (the fancy kind)... and always thought... hm... wonder if he is a baker. :)

I've been called Anchor, banana, Enrique, Enkray, and Chad. Not sure where Chad came from. However, this was over range, not over text.

I know how to spell, and say my own handle, but there are those that seem to have difficulty with it. I've been called silk, ski, and siki. I can understand the last one as I's and one's do kinda look alike.

See......if you're bound by a character limit then misspelling a long handle like, for example, Soul Taker is perfectly acceptable.  However, when someone just can't spell......I mean, how hard is it to look up how something is spelled?  Although how the hell OOZ662 is pronounced if it's not Ooz662 then.....well that one's gonna need to be explained to me.

That Greasemonkey kid started to get real annoyed with me cos I'd always pronounce his handle exactly as is was spelled, didn't know grease rhymed with breeze did ya?  There's someone else on this board who can't spell either (tip for ya:  There's only supposed to be one "i" in your name, replace the first one with an "e" and you'll be on the money).
