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. |

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?

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 .

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...
