I was poked into this topic by @leerla73. I’ve no idea how you did it! I’ve been a Facebook user since the early days when poking was actually used. But Viki Discussion poking is a whole new ball game for me
Anyways, my user name was generated by the WWF web mail system (called @wildmail.com) some 20 years ago. It’s a compound of the first three letters in my surname and name. I remember it reminded me back then (in some weird and roundabout way) of a series I liked to watch as a kid, called Daktari.
I think the convention of lowercase user names is one sign that the discussion board app is open-source. It seems to be a “thing” that any app that is open-source has to have its non-WYSIWYG, computer language roots showing.
Now that I have gotten my username story out, it seems rather like I’m hanging onto the last tissue in the supply of tissues I stocked up on regularly during my Saga of Stupidity. So I did change it.
It’s quite a hassle if you’re a volunteer and change your name, especially once you’re totally into it. But you CAN do it if you really want to…
For some reason, I find uppercase letters in a username annoying. Maybe I’ve been “conditioned” I think it spoils the aesthetic.
my brother tried putting an uppercase letter in his email ID and Google actually allowed it, for some reason! I HATE it, thank goodness it’s not case sensitive.
I’m lysdexic, I spell however. That spelling does make the word seem like the name of some kind of Korean hummus . . . no, wait, don’t tell me there is a version of that . . .
I am sorry, but it just amazes me that, whatever food I can think of, it turns out there is a Korean version. I am beginning to think God created Koreans just to invent food.
For a long time, I have only half-jokingly told people that based on a lot of historical and linguistic factors, it’s possible that that Adam and Eve as mentioned in the Bible were actually whatever Chinese people were at the time the stories in the Bible were being written down.
And the stories of how civilizations got started, and the different groups of people who were descended from Adam, and the stories of how they moved from the garden of Eden to inhabit different parts of the world . . . I am sure there is a line in there that has been overlooked by Bible scholars.
“And lo, there went out from the land of Eden a group that settled in the East and opened a corner store, a street market shop, and a five-star restaurant serving hummus. Hummus and gimbap, hummus and scallion pancakes, hummus and budae jjigae . . .”
Don’t you think Wormy would make the “cut” if he applied to segmenting school?
