I always think of his username as "N-Y-K", separate letter.

And by the way, everyone, it's closer to "Mc-Lane" (pronounced), not "Mc-Lean".

Nice clarification there Ian, it seems I had it wrong.



Nice to see everyone getting their names cleared up here.

Finally got that whole backround image/invisible avatar thing figured out.

So how about you, enjoies05? this is actually one of the few names that I'm stumped on pronouncing (Heike, McLean, and nyk have all come naturally).

is it "enjoys oh-five"?

"en joie oh-five (or zéro-cinq) said with a French accent?

Something else that's never occurred to me?

The first one sound good.

You know there was an ATSMix show where Dave and Johnny were talking about how to pronounce my name. One of them thought it might have been "enjoys SOS"

reply to post by Ian McLean


I always "thought" of it as Nick... not separate letters.

And your name, I hadn't even really looked at the spelling (until the Mr.Clean avatar).

Mine is just Carrot which is easier then people (like on the ATSMix) trying to say KA O Rot? No... it was C A not Ka... Carrot is simpler.

Enjoies05 I just always think of you as Enjoys, and drop the 05 lol...

- Carrot

Fine with me.

Well, we're done.. Too bad we don't get any points for being first to finish, but at least we get to relax and follow the others now.


Thanks Skeppy for being so patient with the slow old woman.

No problem.....I am courteous enough to have patience with the elderly.

....sits back and watches as yet another ATS pub/bar becomes a grammar and pronunciation class..... :shk:

My first reply is up. Some of us like to savor the experience

reply to post by Ian McLean


do you mind if i stick to ian?



@heike and skeppy
WOW
you guys have been fast as lightning
great speed debate!

reply to post by americandingbat


I don't think either of us meant to go as fast as we did. It kinda just happened.....

Real life has kind of been slow over the past few days.

reply to post by skeptic1




I didn't mean to go quite that slow either. I may have been a few seconds over my 24 hours

edit: I just did Ian's trick with the "r" date setting in the MemCenter, and in fact I had 15 whole seconds left before my post could be considered late

Talk about sweating bullets. I came to finish up and it ended up taking me a couple of hours to get online.

You almost got off easy TWISI. The gods must almost like you.

reply to post by The Vagabond


Actually, they favor me. Which is further evidenced by the fact that you are online now.

I really am trying to learn something here and if I have a one-sided debate I will ultimately be the loser.

So, as recently I said to enjoies, "Go get me!"

Congratualtions to Antar and CA_Orot for their wins in the poetry competition! Beautiful poems and Antar so wonderful to see you never lost your voted win from the very first page - great to be keeping such company with writers and fighters.

Round 2 debates are splendid and I'm so enjoying watching them and learning more about debating here - great stuff!

I'm going to be away for a few days on a family matter so be good everyone and keep the tutu's pink and the coffee black!

Hurry back, Super...and the pronunciation of names is an interesting one...

Here's the pronuciation of mine...

"Memory""Shock"...

Careful...it can be a bit tricky...

And now for something completely different...

In case any of you are interested in keeping up with my ghost hunting exploits, the preliminary results from the two investigations I have been a part of are now posted on the S.P.O.O.K. website.

On the "Investigations" page you'll find photo and audio evidence from the investigations, and on the "members" page there is now a picture and brief description of me as a team member.

I think nearly all of the team members had a personal experience at the Porter school, and I don't have a problem agreeing that there's something going on there. Personally, I heard voices in an area where there were no people, and it was too far away from the locations of other team members for it to have been any of their voices. Another team member heard a child singing (no children were present), and both the team's medium and I independently got the same "you aren't welcome here" feeling from a particular downstairs storage room.

In the photo gallery are more pictures of the Porter school, and one of them even has me in it!

Edit to add: That's funny Shock, I always though your name was pronounced "Yes, sir!"
