Fluther user names - is anyone else occasionally 'dyslexic' with them?

For some reason, filmfann has always been flimflam in my mind, and buttonstc is…drum roll…buttsonic.

When I see their names, those are the names I “see”.

How about you?

I’ve done that, occasionally, which is why I try to take advantage of the feature where you type a few letters and the name comes up…

I used to occasionally think of augustlan as augustian.

I used to occasionally confuse the name of galileogirl with that of gailcalled, but perhaps thanks to the above ;-), that confusion is no more.

I used to think that aprilsimnel was aprilisme. ;-p

I used to think that noelleptc was noepilepsy or something like that.

However, the biggest challenge for me in correctly memorizing user names, is the random case usage.

mine too @zenvelo except it’s more “no eleptic” which to me sounds like a refusal to use a piece of equipment at the gym.

I know a LOT of people think my name is New, not Newt. Drives me freaking crazy, but I try to remember it’s an honest mistake.

@MyNewtBoobs It may be because My-Newt-Boobs doesn’t make “sense”.

Absolutely! Part of my hyper-fast, creative brain. I make the most insane typos sometimes, transposing letters, and at times misread names at a glance. I usually have to edit almost everything I write for one reason or another. I deal with it! lol

In my head I can’t make myself use initials when I’m glancing at someone’s name. @noelleptc My darling, I hate to tell you this, but to me, your user name will always be “Noelleptic”. Buttonstc sounds like “Buttonstick” in my head.

Hahaha…I have also been called ‘Colona.’ I don’t know if they meant I look like I might smell nice or I need an enema. Maybe both, maybe a perfumed enema. lolol

Back a thousand years ago, I got a disk in the mail to get 100 hours free on America Online. I signed up using the name filmfann. AOL took 3 days before it canceled my membership, and wanted me to verify my credit card information, because someone there felt my name was too close to flimflam, and I must be taking advantage of AOL’s free period.

I always see Augustlan as Augustian, so it happens to me too.
