    If you spell your name stephen, why does it always show at the end of your posts as Steve???

      This thread is so far Off-Topic it's actually on topic. Therefore, it shouldn't be here.

      SHOOT, you said kind of said what I was going to!

      STEVE is short for steven or stephen. Stephen Wozniak and Steven Jobs, of APPLE fame, BOTH use STEVE as the basic nickname. I say basic because I know wozniak ALSO goes by "WOZ". 8-)

      And a LOT of people shorten names, like Bill for Billy or William, or Pete for Peter. HECK, Bob for Bobby or Robert!

      But Yeah, steph is the accepted nickname for stephAnIE, which is a female name. It just DOESN'T work. 8-(

      BTW MIKE is short for michael! Yeah, I know... Names can be ODD! HECK, HAL is short for Harold!

      But he says he spells it s-t-e-p-h-e-n and yet it always comes out as s-t-e-v-e here on the forum.
      Maybe his keyboard is acting up?

        Are you just trying to be nasty?

        HEY, at a local store(They know me and I threatened to do it, etc...) I once signed my name X!!!!! YEP! I figured what's the difference? It isn't checked, my card company will probably never see it, and I wanted to see what would happen. My signature never looks right there ANYWAY! The guy behind the counter laughed and said ****X****? He just got a snicker out of it. They know I amm good for it, etc...

        And this keyboard is at least far better than my blackberry, but it does have problems. So, ok, I have a habit of writing steve on informal things.

    We get it, Steve. Really. Sal is short for Sally, too - but there's a dude in the main forum who is also Sal and I've received PMs that I was mistaken for him. Sal is used by a lot of guys when it's the first three letters of their full name. Salvador, etc.

    So anyhow -- what exactly did you have in mind that you want us to have to admit?

      Heck YEAH. My step mother's name is Gerri! It sounds TOO much like Jerry(as in Jerry Seinfeld...). And one of the leading actors on Father Dowlings mysteries Father Dowling Mysteries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is someone by the name of STEVE! And SHE is a NUN! I guess it HAD to happen. Hey, look at "michael learned"! Michael is ALSO supposed to be a male name. 8-( BTW I LOVE Father Dowlings mysteries, and the actors as well.

      Well, I got a rep I feel was undeserved, so I was kind of poking fun at it. I was going to say "She is white", referring to the car that had the accident in the race, and mention that I had red and silver cars, and my first was blue, but that could get a bit too involved, etc... 8-/ In a way, the double entendre is in the title. But HEY, a lot of people here have done the same exact thing.

    HECK, one poor guy was named MARION! HE went on to be a famous actor and even had a nice big airport named after him! The name he went by??????

    Marion Morrison went by the public name of JOHN WAYNE! AND, if you fly any distance to, or from, orange county(one of the largest counties in california, and where Disneyland is), you probably landed at John Wayne Airport!

    BTW his friends called him DUKE! John Wayne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

      In a WAY, this whole thread is ON topic! I spoke of how I said one thing, and many may think I spoke about another, and we sstarted talking about how a name may imply the wrong sex, etc...

      FUNNY!
