My pseudo is Yorick, not Yorrick, yet many posters have misspelled the name.

Why is this so?

Now, I don't care whether people misspell the name or not, or shorten it or whatever. What I'm interested in is WHY people see a second R where there is one. ;)

hmmmmmm.

Yorick what you talking about I never ever spelt it with two R's. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hey Yorick, I'm not really sure why people mispell your name, but I have a feeling it's one of those pronounciation things. Yor-rick. You think?

Yorrrick, it's the 3rd one that gets me :D

ummm..

i got it, hon!

the peeps who do that are into transformation. yknow? they take the second "s" from my name and turn it into an "r" and add it to yours!

:D

V***V

Alas poor Yorrrick, I knew him Horatio - back in the days when he only had one R. A good egg who was fond of a bounce - avoided walls for some reason - used to be a real crack-up - most excellent fellow really. Hold on, those last three words had LL's in them - just like you see in Llama's :D .

Hehe!

By habit I guess ;) Sounds better to me that way LOL! :D

I have hardly no time to see what I just wrote and er well call it the linking "r" if you would! ;)

There are two r's in Barry, so I don't want you to feel left out Yorrick. :D

But honestly, does it bother you that much? Not everyone is going to have read Hamlet. Or even smoked one...

yorrrrick, what the hell are you talking about ?

I don't spell Yorrick with two Rs do I?

how bout "urs" instead of "rr" :D :D

dude, you did, you did spell yorrrrick with two Rs.

Am I guilty, Yoorick?

LOL! [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] Great replies guys! :D

LOL!

If memorry serrves, you did early on, but stopped when I called you Jerrome. ;)

But It doesn't bug me either way. Bemusement and irritation are two different things.

heh! I think it took a while fo rBinky to stop calling me "Sheild" [img]tongue.gif[/img] ;)

I think Yorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrickkkkkkkkkkkk are pretty cool name! :D

Because they are free? LOL Or buy one 'R' get one free today? LOL :D

No.

Yozzrick, can I borrow your thread for a tick ? I had always wondered why people often forget the first "i" in "Moiraine" ... Is it because "oi" is not a natural English sound ? [img]smile.gif[/img]

sorry moiirraiine, won't happen again

Its not that it is not a natural sound, its just that in English, its a different sound...like in boing and groin.

Unless you pronounce it moy-rain it makes sense to spell it without the first i because in English, it looks like it should be mor-ain as opposed to mwa-rain.
I'd be careful in this particular thread! Someone is likely to spell it moro...I won't do it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

hi kloddy, maybe you can teach us to spell the proper way ?

Whaddaya mean Yorrick? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
