Misreading Member's Names

[tau136]

I think some people thought I was Nerdpuncher...which would mean I'd have to punch myself.

So which type of nard are we talking about here ?

Oh, plenty of people mistyped my user name...
Maybe my avatars are a bit distracting?!?!

Well people seem to at times mispell my name as "Ehmer". And I had real trouble to stop reading "Zion Ravescene" as "Zion Ravenesque"

I always read your name as Elmer.

Since this thread, I find I have been misreading people's names more and more often now.

This one isn't a misread, so much as a misinterpretation. At first, I understood trampledamage to read as "trampled a mage" instead of "trample damage". The elephant in her avatar finally clued me in.

This is exactly what I was coming in here to say! She will always be a trampler of mages to me!

Just now, I mistook your username for Rincewind.

An elephant's got to have a hobby...

For some inexplicable reason, I do a double-take every time I read Graywand2's name. I'm always reading it as Gaywad2.

Not really. I think it's that many people here like Terry Pratchett and hence automatically read and write "Rincewind"
