If one of the KSig's didn't put a truck in his signature, I'd never know the difference between KSigKid and KSigRC

Alzheimer's is not pronounced Oldtimers. Sorry, that's a pet peeve of mine.
Speaking of names, I've requested a namechange twice from John and he persists in ignoring me. Can the supermoderators take care of namechanges?

Yeah, but one of my professors told me that it is pronounced "Alltimer's" because that's the German pronunciation. If anyone here speaks German, does "zh" make an American "t" sound? Because I didn't buy it, but hey, I don't speak German.

My mom, who is Polish (came here from Poland in 1964) had to learn German when she was in grade school. She says it's more like a "tz" sound - all-tzy-mers. But, she also says she left Poland so long ago, so her memory may be a little shoddy.

Alzheimer's is different from "oldtimers" and both those are totally different from sometimer's.
Some times I remember, some times I forget...
Alzheimer's is generally characterized by beta-amyloid plaques on the neurons that causes 1st short-term memory loss, then long-term memory loss. Eventually the sufferers forget how to do non-voluntary functions such as breathing...
Oldtimer's is just generated by age and old. It is not medical and most folks are cantankerous.
Sometimer's is generated by age and is middle-aged. It too is not medical and most folks who have it are honery.
I am nowhere close to be an awesome supermoderator... If that comment was not for me, for that I apologize since some folks on GC are rather touchy and hardcore about appropriatly stating everything on a "free for all" board. But, hey, we have some level of decorum.

I know what Alzheimer's is, I work in the medical field myself. I also know a lot of people who pronounce Alzheimer's as Oldtimers and it really annoys the hell out of me.

not only am i still trying to keep everyone strait (newly re-addicted!) I have a hard time remembering who's in what group if it's not cut-n-dry in their username or sig! i know, i suck. but in my case - if i didn't put ast in my sig, who'd remember? 'cause jennie is such an exptic name it'd be easy to keep straight, right
i am glad i'm not the only one who's stumbeld over names....

I'm usually pretty good at figuring out what things mean based on the context, but I'm thoroughly stumped right now. Granted, I'm working on only 1 cup of coffee and way too little sleep. But still, I should be able to figure this out.
What's "exptic" mean? Exceptional? Accepted? Expletive? 
But yeah, people's names confuse me. Not to mention when someone changes usernames completely. I know they used to be something else, and at some point I would've known what, but now.... ???
Seriously, to all the other parents of babies/toddlers... I can't take much more sleep deprivation. When does it get better?? I'm beginning to see why it is such an effective torturing method.
