When I read, I hear the sounds of the words in my head. But I get stuck on names, like this one: irontigran. How do you pronounce it? For that matter, am I correct in pronouncing Mimor MEEmore?

Yes on Mimor. Not sure on the other one.

I assume it's Iron Tigran, that's TEE-grin. As in Tigran Petrosian. The
Iron Tiger.

I just learned that the lyrics of Even Flow go:

"Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies..."

I always thought it was:

"Even flow, goes around like butterflies..."

That reminds me: I need to look up the lyrics to Cat's Cradle. There's one line I can never get, and I just mumble something to get through it.

My head's a bit rattled by Irontigran, I know where he got it from but it still sounds like "a Ron ti gran" in my head. Gotta say I preferred his old name ....

How did he get the name change anyway? Don't you have to have a convincing reason why the change is necessary?

He explained it to me. If you had been using your real name and become uncomfortable with it, the site administrators will work with you to change it upon request.

Thats Frank, rhymes with tank, Burns, rhymes with turns.

maybe one day he'll move in that one game in progress he has...but since it's been 2140 days since he last moved, don't hold your breath.
