<br>Oh, thank you, but I don't think it would be good for me to go make up new naming conventions independantly. Before you know it there would be one naming convention on the forum, one on the list, various classrooms would have their own... There would be Southern ChucKish, Northern ChucKish, nobody would understand anyone anymore untill somebody designed a "ChucKish (simplified)" font.

<div><br>I was thinking about "you". I'll explain, this would make the pronounciation of the whole line like;<br><br>"spork you reader" (brackets are silent)<br><br>This could be taken as a reference to Pokemon with it's "I choose you" when fielding Pokemon which is fitting since we are realy summoning functions to do our bidding and "Frankenstein", "Dracula" and "quintesson" already reference pop-culture.
