Why do people put a second "R" in Yorick?

Yorick · 06-03-2002, 01:47 AM

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?

John D Harris · 06-03-2002, 02:00 AM

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

vesselle · 06-03-2002, 02:09 AM

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

Hehe!

By habit I guess

Sounds better to me that way LOL!

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

Barry the Sprout · 06-03-2002, 05:01 AM

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

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