I was in the game where Thor started calling her "tracy with an e". However, I have to say that it does not seem to fit the general parameters of a title (the fact it is a username based title.)

She is a really cool chick though ♥

You guys... :] :oops:

Not sure if it's normal to discuss your own title, but why not. First, Robo, Thor says "Tracy with an 'e'" to emphasize he's spelling it incorrectly. Second, I like the title because it goes beyond just an inside joke. It's more of a personality thing than a username thing. I don't only correct people on my name. I tend to correct people on others' as well. Not to mention I do it in real life. Plus it's pretty obvious what the title is referring to, so that's a nice bonus.

Without first-hand knowledge of what other folks have seen (don't think I've played with Tracey), is there a way to make something of the general corrective trait?

Something like, "No, that's a _____" (with the underscoring).

Or "Actually, ______ is correct".

Or, assuming spelling corrections are numerous enough, "Dictienary".

@Gorckat: I don't think (though maybe I don't notice) I correct people much on other misspellings. Just names. I'd be fine with a more general one, though, if it looked appealing enough.

I think there's a better title for Tracey sometime down the line that we can throw this 'e' business into as well.

Yeah I think I agree with this the most.

/defendstitle

The pronunciation/spelling of my name and related topics thereof were actually a topic of discussion for a while before :tigers: happened. I've never heard anyone talking about the fact that tracey's name has an "E" in it.

I would think something more general than just the E would be good something along the lines of spelling nazi (kinda off of grammar nazi).

I can certainly relate to having my name misspelled... Most people spell mine Rachel with a few other variations, but rarely do they spell it Rachael which is the correct spelling. One of the reasons I generally prefer my nickname Rach. What is surprising is I tell people it is spelled like Michael and they still get it wrong lol.

It's incredibly liberating.

Also, I think there are much better titles out there than username titles. I cringe everytime someone says that a title "is also a representation for x" when literally nobody else has ever mentioned that. The joke is that your name has an e in it and you tell people that it has an e in it. No-one else has said that, and I'm guessing it's probably because that's not what the title means to them.


Discussing your title should be encouraged, but writing your own story should be avoided.

My personal input, though I don't actually know Tracey, is to wait for another title suggestion for her and then just shove an e into it.

I'm certainly reading it less. It's nice to come here and actually enjoy it rather than feel like an obligation to clean up the shitposts sometimes.
