The guy who put this site together spells his name with a 'K.' His name is in plain view. Why do so many members insist on asking Eric questions? If you know that he's the guy to talk to, that means you've seen his name, spelled correctly, at least once.
It's Aiyrreque, goddammit.
hey thats no way to talk and eri"c" is gonna see that!
Believe it or not, this spelling is supposed to be less offensive. It's meant simply as an expression of extreme frustration, ignoring the origin of the word.
Other than the spelling of his actual name being listed on his profile, I have no solid evidence. Are you familiar with Ockham's Razor?
Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate.
Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily.
He strikes me as a really laid back and reasonable guy. I'm sure it doesn't bother him when people casually forget that he has a K there and not a C.
/or at least I hope he does!
//cause I am guilty of doing it!
//hope Erik forgives me, won't happen again.
And the brown-nose award goes to...
I think the kind of person that would take offense with the original three-worder would still take offense with this conglomeration; no matter what your PC authority tells you. Just a thought.
That was in reference to William of Ockham, who has been dead for hundreds of years. Who would I be sucking up to?
Hey my middle name is also ERIK, spelt with a K.
It originates from Scandinavia so Erik and Myself have meat eating Viking blood, so please show some respect, plus his Mom would be upset if she knew you were making fun of him in the play ground.
"Erik and Myself have meat eating Viking blood"
I'm a vegetarian myself.
