yeah I thought about Sooto (I still refuse to put the ' in his name.) but with so many LB he is really going to have to shine to get many snaps.
Same for Ryan Taylor. He may be too deep on the depth chart to get much of an opportunity.

I suppose no one has ever called you Kev (or Zero)
I call my daughter Amanda, Manda.
Apparently everyone who calls Robert Rob is dissing them. Christopher should never be call Chris. Don't even get me started on the various versions of Elizabeth. The list of names that is shortened is nearly endless and there is no malicious intent most of the time.

Okay, idiotic is too strong ... I just don't don't understand it and shouldn't label it as I did. My angst comes from my daughters mother naming our child Rebecca then chewing me out everytime I say "Rebecca" instead of Becca. If you want her called Becca, why not name her that from the start?

You sure have a stick up your ass this morning, holy shit.

wow.

I didn't think I was being spiteful. All I said is I didn't want to use the damn apostrophe. And rabid I don't disagree with him having it in his name. It is his family's name not mine. Why should I disagree with it? I don't care one way or the other.

I am an incredibly horrible typist. If not for spell check I could not post without having 20 errors a comment. As a matter of fact I would not even post at all. (I have corrected 6 times already.)

My not using the apostrophe is simply a time saver for me. I am always hitting the wrong keys in the lower right corner of the broad.

Back to nicknames Kevin- For the most part I call my wife Rhonda, my daughter Amanda and my son David. I rarely use nicknames for any of them. (15 spelling corrections.)

As for So'oto (I hope you are all happy.) I gave some silly stupid reason last Summer for not using it. I don't even remember what I said. The real reason is I can't spell and (22 corrections.) I was trying to save my self some time. It is not as if no one ever abbreviates on a broad they are posting on. (24 times.)

lol ... food for thought ... count the characters you've typed regarding you refusing to put the ' in his name ... I think the 'lazy' route would have been to include the ' in his name from the start 😛

Truly, if I knew leaving the ' out had hurt his feelings I would be upset with myself. No malice was intended. (more typos.)
