Name abreviations and the eternal question

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

My gf's surname is loffstadt...which people have real trouble in spelling on letters...examples include Miss Luffstutt, Lurfstert, Loftsat and my personal favourite (from our local gas board)...Miss LoveShack.

I'm thinking about adopting her name instead of her adopting mine when we get married...."oh hello Mr LoveShack, how are you today?" lol

@chet (see how easy that goes?): Glad I got mentioned. I am not yet forgotten, Yeey

I don't expect any of you to write my name completely, even calling me Nick would do.

Does anyone realize that the abbreviation "Archie" is actually longer than "Arcon"? that means one extra keystroke, and more expense on calories!!! how come it's laziness then to abbreviate?

@FF - That goes in the "pet" name catagory, so its ok

@ff - I actualy like your suggestion the best... sS! Or perhaps Ss... either way...

Here's a name for you. Not shure if the spelling is correct, but is is pronounced "Baldarama" She should start a wig store

i dont know, plus Arcon came around ORIGINALLY from the laziness of people because they couldnt be arsed to say "Arconis" all the time so it got shortened to "Arcon" (which i prefer actually). Its just a way for people to break down the official barrier. like saying "my names arcon, my friends call me 'arc'" but not like that...if you get my meaning.

I call Taw, Taw, cause i just cant remember his full name, and wouldnt be able to say it off hand without looking it up . Tawaklan? is that right? i dunno, its a stupid name anyway

The members of SPECTRE are known to each other only by their code numbers. The numbers carry no significance other than a secure method of identification,
Should we call you '#1' then ?
