I discovered something yesterday: I have never, ever had to spell amanuensis out loud for anyone. As in, never given anyone Amanuensis's email address or website address or lj name out loud. I tried to do it for the first time on a recording yesterday and completely blew it.

I once recorded myself reading out a drabble by elskegaderian and realised I had no idea how to pronounce her username.

Hee! Yeah, there was a thing going around once about "how many different pronounciations of an lj user name can we come up with. pauraque had a LOT.

skuf did a voice post once where she read the usernames of her entire friendslist. It was adorable.

I'm guessing everyone fell about laughing that most of 'em weren't even close, or something, eh?
