Not to mention the ten thousand times I get "Uriu". My own grandmother, God bless her, went to put it on my birthday card, but couldn't remember which way it went... so she asked my mother, who got it wrong. Grandma was gonna do it right, too.

And nobody knows how to say it either. The only guy I know who has four letters who cause more trouble than I do is named Xjph.

Maybe, JUST MAYBE, you should realize you aren't Japanese. You live in Canada.

maybe

JUST MAYBE

you should realize that some people prefer to go by their nicknames

a friend of mine doesn't like using her real name because she was made fun of a lot in school because it was part of a nursery rhyme

I don't like my last name because everyone butchers the hell out of it

if name usage is such a big deal why don't you change your username to your real name

Your post is invalid because his name is Will and his "nickname" is the Japanese spelling of Will.

And my name is my first initial and last name, thank you very much.

[ranatalus]

even better

go look at the thread I made in FB

I eventually broke the spoiler tags

@ jesterline: so what, who said the internet goes by your rules

so what, if your name is justin esterline that's still not your real name is it

please refrain from further discussion as you are clearly wrong and everyone else is clearly right

[jesterline]

You missed the point, obviously.

My point was that he shouldn't complain that his name is spelled wrong and pronounced wrong because it's not Japan and these people do not know Japanese.

[Uiru]

You're absolutely right.

I forgot that there are valid and invalid reasons for bitching about one's common name misspellings, in a 'bitch about how your name is misspelled' thread. Thanks for pointing that out; I'll keep it in mind for the future.

Hey guys. Knock it off.

[BLueSS]

OK, enough thread derailment.

Go to FB to do that. :-P
