This is getting serious people!

[Yonatan]

Why. Oh. En. Ay. Tee. Ay. En.

Yonatan. Believe it or not, that's my name.

So stop misspelling it.

That's right. Yonatan = Y O N A T A N

And also, my name is spelled MATTHEW.

M A T T H E W

A lot of people spell my name like this (with 1 t):

M A T H E W

That is not how it's spelled. It's spelled the traditional way, with two t's, so get it right!

I never spell a name wrong, I usually highlight the names and then copy them. So if you have trouble spelling my name, highlight my name, right click, and copy. Simple as that!

Hopefully, this tip will come in handy one day, just remember who told you this little tip when someone says:

"You spelled my name correct, how did you do it?"

and you reply:

"Matthew Gates helped me!"

hehe .

do you mind if I call you matt? becuase on lots of posts I say matt and you dont seem to mind (unless inside you're thinking: "That B*tch Dimitri can never spell my name right")

[Yonatan]

No, Mathew, it's Yonatan, the 6th letter is a.
The 4th one is also a, and there's only one o which is the 2nd letter. Now, the y comes in the beginning (as usual on any VB forum). The t is the 5th letter, between the a's. There are two n's, they are the 3rd letter and the 7th (last) letter.

Private Sub cmdName_Click()
    Dim ShutUp As Boolean, MyName As String
    
    MyName = StrConv(InputBox("What's Yonatan's name???"), vbProperCase)

    If Not Len(MyName) = 7 Then
        Call MsgBox("That's not Yonatan's name!", vbCritical)
        Exit Sub
    End If
    
    ' I could have written: If Not MyName = "Yonatan" Then ShutUp = True
    ' But I didn't! Instead, I used Left, Mid and Right, and even indented it so it can be read top to bottom.

      If Not Left(MyName, 1) = "Y" Then ShutUp = True ' Because the 1st letter is: Y
    If Not Mid(MyName, 2, 1) = "o" Then ShutUp = True ' Because the 2nd letter is: o
    If Not Mid(MyName, 3, 1) = "n" Then ShutUp = True ' Because the 3rd letter is: n
    If Not Mid(MyName, 4, 1) = "a" Then ShutUp = True ' Because the 4th letter is: a
    If Not Mid(MyName, 5, 1) = "t" Then ShutUp = True ' Because the 5th letter is: t
    If Not Mid(MyName, 6, 1) = "a" Then ShutUp = True ' Because the 6th letter is: a
     If Not Right(MyName, 1) = "n" Then ShutUp = True ' Because the 7th letter is: n
    
    If ShutUp Then
        Call MsgBox("That's not Yonatan's name!", vbCritical)
    Else
        Call MsgBox("WOO! WOO! You finally got Yonatan's name right! You actually typed Yonatan!", vbExclamation)
    End If
End Sub

[dimava]

nice little program, and unlike mine's it acctually works Yonatan

OMG! I am so sorry, lol. I could've sworn, I looked at your name and copied it, that's weird. I'm really sorry about that YONATAN.

By the way,
Shalom Yonatan, Mash Lom Ha?

I don't speak frequent Hebrew, but I know some .

Sorry for messing your name up, from now on, I will personally put it in a text file called Yonatan with your name in it, and edit copy and paste it everytime I use it .

[Yonatan]

Beseder, v'ata?

Translation:
I was sure you typed Yonaton instead of Yonatan on purpose (people always do that), and so, I was driven into taking drastic measures - the little program that I posted. (The other half simply can't be expressed in pure English)

[Iain17]

Don't talk to me about name misspelling, it seems i have turned into Lain17 around these forums.

It's not a f@#*&%$ L it is an I, for iron, or Idiot who cant spell[/b]

I even tried telling people this in my signature, but people still manage to get it wrong.

I am good, hehe. That was pure mistake Yonatan. It was late and I still haven't slept and I mistyped your name. But it's all fixed now.

And lain17:

strlain = LCase$("Lain17")
Msgbox strlain 'will return lain17 :)

[Gary.Lowe]

I've noticed some people type my name with 2 R's, think it's a yank thing as it seems to only be them that do it.


Why?

[kedaman]

HA! You know how many ways my name have been spelt?

Kedman
Kedemen
Kedeman
Jedaman
Kademan

well actually the first one is most oftenly used, but you know what, it's K E D A M A N

[Ianpbaker]

Hi Lain17

I get the same F@*!ing Problem as my name now seem's to be Lanpbaker. I posted a in the feedback to ask john if he could change the font but got no reply.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiian

[HarryW]

Well I guess I'm just a freak then, cos I'd rather people called me Harry than HarryW. I mean, how likely is it that I am addressed by my friends as HarryW?

Is that your actual name Kedaman, or does it mean something in.... finnish or wherever you're from? (hope you don't mind my forgetting) I never really thought about it before.

[Gary.Lowe]

maybe it's Finnish for Kevin

nobody ever mis-spells my name, well megatron did once,

DennisWernn

[Juan Carlos Rey]

A guy who writes "becuase" intead of because or mistakes than for then ("I have more then 100 posts") can hardly write a name correctly.

BTW: My name means: John Charles King. And I am a King.

[kedaman]

Hehe, it actually doesn't mean anything, but actually it does, no contradiction! No there are no names, i've searched the whole world, no kedamans, so i picked that name.

three boxes of chocolate goes to the winner, who finds out my middle name Also kedaman means something so i i'll by four boxes if you find out what

Dunnis

There you go Dennis two times.

Lain17

Just had to do it.

Yonatan

That is pretty hard to get right!

Klugdman

Another to add to your list. And we all know your middle name is Alice so l want chocs.

kedaman means pissed Finland guy. A Dannish guy in the office claims this anyway.

Juan

King of what dude.

[Juan Carlos Rey]

King of talking Bull.Scrap

[kedaman]
