That surprises me, I always assumed your username was some sort of Japanese name or something

Mine is based on my name (unlike my usual name of Crivens on most boards in the last decade or so). Well, my nickname and the initial of my surname to be honest. So I guess in reality it should sound like "Dazah Gee". Come to think of it though I have it in my head as "Daz-agg". Strange. Probably doesn't help that no-one calls me this in real life...

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

Sfen, with the e like in "bed"

That's just like reading japanese. They don't put spaces in-between their words either. Then again, they can switch between 3-4 alphabets in one sentence so that makes it easier to know when another word begins.

Yeah, thank god for Kanji. The japanese are extremely smart people, without those 4 alphabets they'd have no idea how to read their own words. Though their neighboring countries can probably get away with just 20 letters (after some pronunciation changes and letter removals), they're nowhere near as smart though.

Ok ok, so I really do study that language and don't hate it... all the time.

I did read flashing snail the first time I saw his name, but after a quick glance I noticed it was snall. So seppuku, you aren't alone. It's thanks to that "how many f's are in this sentence" email my friends got a couple years ago.

Hmmm, my name, I'll leave it up to you guys. fate-ing would be fun.
