Mine's my nickname. Kinda dull really!
Noone said:My User name was based on a concept of Someone and No one.(Perception)
it best showed my point of view of how my view and perception of the world around me is not that of someone's but that of noOne's, but the noOne is someone, and that someone would be me, No one.
A philosophy concept of word's and point's of view of perception...
(No, one person know's)
(the preceving of perception)

That's basically what I did, but with a slight twist.Noone said:My User name was based on a concept of Someone and No one.(Perception)

So it's a misspelling of a misspelling?Defennnder said:My user name started out as "Defennder", when I first registered a username on the Internet. That was actually a spelling error. But I still used it because I realized that it is readily available as a unique moniker; for every site I've been to, no one uses this nick. When I registered for PF, I entered that username. Unfortunately I mispelled it, this time it has 3 'n's. Oh well. Guess I'm stuck with it.

I watched him perform when I was younger, Lightnin' Hopkins was also on the bill that night, I believe. Are you familiar with him?_Muddy_ said:Why, I'm named in honour of the late great muddy waters

One of my favorite (slightly older than me) contemporaries is Buddy Guy. He made his way to Chicago and wanted to audition with Muddy, and asked for a meal. Muddy stood him to a drink of whiskey saying that he'd be better off singing while hungry. Muddy was killer, as was his bassist Willie Dixon. Many of my local blues friends (in a and called the Blue Flames) backed up his pianist, Pinetop Perkins in his live CD "Live Top". These guys are Mainers that are main-lining Chicago blues and this CD is a killer. Highly recommended.Evo said:I watched him perform when I was younger, Lightnin' Hopkins was also on the bill that night, I believe. Are you familiar with him?
I have spelled it "mispelled" my whole life. I have absolutely no idea that was wrong.Moonbear said:So it's a misspelling of a misspelling?(While on the subject of misspelling, does that word have one s or two? Word highlights it as misspelled if I put two 's's in it, and Safari complains if I put in one...other than laughing that Apple and Microsoft are fighting over ownership of the dictionary along with everything else, which is the right spelling?)

I think I've misspelled it. But two ss's make sense.Moonbear said:Ah, Webster's unabridged dictionary (the weight-lifter's version) says it's misspelled (two of the letter s). I was SURE Word was wrong all these years, but had been too lazy to look it up. One more reason to bash Microsoft...for destroying the English language.I enjoy the irony of misspelling misspelled though.
Maybe that will be my next username when I have to think up another for something...mispelled.

Danger said:'Mis' is a prefix indicating a negative. If the following word begins with an 's', therefore, you get two of them. With any other initial letter, you use only one.
And a mistress has no hair? Actually a mistress is halfway between a mister and a mattress.rewebster said:so, 'mister' is a negative 'ter' then?
