Bitcoin Forum

This thread is a petition to convince theymos to change his moniker to a proper noun, viz. Theymos.

Replies to this thread, whether for or against the idea, constitutes a yea.

To be fair, theymos aka Theymos would have finally say in the request at hand.

Theymos is cool, he should change his name to Thermos.

Why not just change it to Thanos and then INFINITY WAR SPOILER ALERT wipe out half of the forum, preferably the shitposters and bounty spammers.

LMMFAO (truly wasn't versed re Thanos till now)


<humor at theymos, soon to be Theymos, expense>

What's wrong with "theymos"? Capitalism is great :D, but the conversion of "theymos" to "Theymos" is a bit pedantic.

You wouldn't understand.. We are nonconformists..
jackg gets it..

Yeah but you can at least read if there is no capitals, otherwise, you wouldn't know theymos was him as easily. And people do use numbers in their usernames.

Is equally annoying wouldn't you agree?

If all my posts were made that way it would get really annoying.

I see that you also have a god complex like the Vod. you need to change yourself first. ;)

Note, I'm going to pass my serious posts as a joke with a wink from now on. I will say something and would add a  ;) to make it OK.

Or closing brackets we didn't open (sorry just had to).

Yeah, cat gifs are quite annoying after a while.

There once was a BitcoinTalk admin [theymos]
Who some say was octospermous
Though the cause was unknown
Others have been told
It was due to him contracting thermus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermus)

There once was a BitcoinTalk admin [theymos]
Who had several problems with this thymus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thymus)
He had contracted thermus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermus)
From a contaminated thermos
But cured himself by eating some Thymus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thymus_(plant))

Fixed.

I had assumed everyone knew what a thermos was  :P

The English language is some fucked up shit sometimes.  :-\
I never knew there were two meanings for thymus and both their meanings were totally opposite of the other. Tf.

Here's one pertaining to the uniqueness of the English language. There is ONLY one word in the English language that when it's a proper noun, both have different pronunciations in spite of being spelled exactly the same excepting that the first letter of the proper noun one is capitalized (hence a proper noun).

That said, I'm now leaning toward that theymos and Theymos be pronounced differently as well (thy-miss & thy-most [t is silent or, if you prefer, thy-mose], respectively).

Is it not pronounced: they-moss why is there so much effort being put into finding different ways to badly pronounce his username.

@theymos, if you read this, can we pronounce it they-moss or do you prefer something different as pronunciation.

Looks like nobody figure out the word yet, eh? Here's a hint: 420.

That's ridiculous, nobody is gonna fall for that.

I can think of three, but none of them relate to 420...

Polish/polish
Nice/nice (City in France)
Reading/reading (City in England)

It was probably the polish/Polish he was thinking of. I thought there were a few yesterday (there's probably more than those three).

Ahh, I think he must mean Herb (as in short for Herbert) and the American pronunciation of herb.

Still, definitely not the only one.

No, not that.


Bingo! And yes it's the only one.

What about the other 3 examples I gave...?

Oops! I'll give you Polish/polish. Are both Reading/reading and Nice/nice really pronounced differently?

Reading the city is pronounced Red-ing, and Nice as in nephew and niece.

I'm not entirely sure Nice (with the capital) is a word in English it looks more French or something to me.

And Reading, as above is pronounced redding as o_e_l_e_o states.

Oh yeah, my bad. It's a French city with a French name, so that one doesn't count.

Yes.
@gleb, what's the thing with herb and Herb, how are they each pronounced?

Americans don't pronounce the "h", so they say "erb". This is more true to the original French pronunciation.

Yeah, it means thermostat. But the BTT admin has a "Y" to his.

Well, it's a common practice here and majority of members also have their names as improper nouns. Its not yet time to crucify them. Perhaps we should wait to see what the Trump-Kim summit gives before making our judgment.  ;D

I googled... and found some Capitonyms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitonym) with different pronunciations. ;D

I doubt this topic was on their agenda unless some White House intern misspelled "theymonuclear weapons".

There are dozens of them... DOZENS!
