You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I just realized that one cannot change their name, like from -s.a.- to s.a., as one could on WorldCrossing. How would one go about making such a change now? Say, from s.a. to SA?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

One would ask an admin. Are you asking an admin?

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

NOT AS STRANGE AS IT FEELS TO EXPERIENCE IT!

Oh yeah, NOUMENON?

Has it happened to YOU? Random acts of name-capitalization? The late-night naming cabal-- they're probably culpable!

Ooh.

Also, very sorry, /natter.

NAM SOON!

I forget if he was taught to pronounce this correctly in Vietnamese with exact intonation, but, if he wasn't, the whole climax of the novel fails.

People would be standing around going "did he say 'nàm sún' (pass me a goat) or 'nám sôn' (please forgive my umbrella) or what?" and then, you know...

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
