Help[Opinions] Re: From Paternity Court...

What was your username?
I agree with you, btw. I kind of hate it when people ask about a name and talk about how terrible it is, and then the whole thread just becomes an echo chamber. Makes me want to be contrarian just for the hell of it.
I also get icky feelings when creative spellings are put down as "trashy", "illiterate", etc. I'm not trying to change anyone's mind here, it's just how I feel.

It was my name, which I don’t use publicly online any more. Please feel free to message me :)
Those are my two reactions too, as I’ve just shown! The icky feeling is such a hard, knee jerk reaction too. No one who is illiterate has chosen to be illiterate, they’ve either been oppressed or let down in some way and it’s actually incredibly sad. I occasionally encounter people who are illiterate and it breaks my heart and makes me angry.
Edit: Also, I grew up “trashy” and very happy!

I didn't grow up "trashy", but I grew up working class. Actually, I guess compared to some people, I did grow up "trashy", but I never saw it that way. It's complicated. :)

Yeah, I’m working class really, I was raised very properly and the kids at school made fun of me for being posh, but I feel like I just walked out of Oliver in some situations.
