Why can't people read?!?!? everyone keeps calling me PAINTEDCYPRESS on live! or Pained Seepries or Pained Seepiss (mostly as a joke or insult). My name is PainedCypress! Hear me Roar!

Do any of you have this problem?

you know, i never realized how bad the illiteracy rate was until i started posting on this forum. XBL must be flooded with ignorant dumbasses who probably can't spell their own name. you gotta admit though, painted cypress does have a ring to it....

Lots of people write my name as "Garaa" which sounds like a failed attempt at a roar... but I don't care... nor do I care when people say or write my real name as "Tristian" or "Tristin" or "Tristen" I just deal with it...

Well I usually pronounce names of my friends wrong of purpose just to see how they react. And they do the same to me. So maybe people are just having fun with your name...Since is isnt.. all that normal.

Well friends I can understand but some people just can't read my name right and they can novels (supposedly). If anyone who can figure out what my name means, he/she gets a cookie, with big chocolate chips. Edit:I really should keep this cookie for myself, it looks good and everything.

Do any of you have this problem?


No. I made sure that my Xbox Live name was easily readable. With the amounts of lazy illiterate morons out there, it's best to be careful with your name.
