Okay, I will explain about my usernames. This is the history of my current nicknames

When I starting to surf in virtual world. I actually want my full real names as my username. This name also I used on Planet Minecraft forum as my nickname. But, since I register twitter and search on google when my full names are oftenly used by other people, I decided to add “CJ” as character from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas as additional for my usernames starts from 2014. So, my usernames is “RizkyPramudyaCJ” to differentiate between Rizky Pramudya me and Rizky Pramudya others. I search who used this name and the result is just me only. Until now, I use this nicknames over many sites I registered, include github.  
RizkyPramudyaCJ, Rizky Pramudya is my real name and CJ is GTA:SA’s main protagonist character.

I randomly hit my keyboard multiple times.

The result looked pretty good.

So I stuck with it.

I watched recently the movie **Ready Player One**  
And I’m NOOB in everything (I said that I wish Thrive be easy on the survey)

In every game/app, I signed an account on mid or late 2018 I used this nickname  
And I’ll make a Youtube channel named ‘NB’ 😀

Well… Despite having two nicknames that I use on the internet, for some reason or another (I was probably drunk) I decided to go with what my friends call me, which is Zahy (it’s shortened version of my last name), and I just added two extra Y’s to seem interesting. And I guess I don’t have to explain my profile pic.

@hhyyrylainen I know it’s been a while since anyone has been on here, but I’m curious about where your user name comes from.

It’s just derived from my name, and my Linux username. I use it for all programming related things to make it easier for a potential employer to find my work.

I pronounce it as “H-L-Ren” so I do not hurt my brain on a pronunciation

Step 1: learn to pronounce Finnish.  
Step 2: follow the standard pronunciation rules of Finnish when saying Hyyryläinen  
Step 3: – none, that was it. It’s that easy, unlike in English where you can’t tell how a word is pronounced from the way it is written.

After watching that I dare anyone to claim that English has a sensible spelling system.

Consistent enough to find rules. He wasn’t talking about combos, which is what dictates how the vowel is pronounced.

Still, the spelling system is a mess. For example I just found this quote (I’ve read about this topic a ton):  
“If English had a completely regular spelling system, as **Finnish** and Korean do, it would have no more than 44 spellings, and **learning to read and write English would be as easy as those two languages**. Most alphabetic writing systems, however, do not have a completely one to one relationship between their sounds and spellings, with a few more spellings than sounds.” (emphasis mine)  
[http://spellingsociety.org/irregularities-of-english-spelling#/page/1](http://spellingsociety.org/irregularities-of-english-spelling#/page/1)

There’s also some pretty brutal statistics about Finnish school children learning to read much faster than in English speaking countries:

This is starting to get off topic.  
Edit: I learned to read when I was 4, I think. It took about a month for me to learn basic English fluently. You could argue we don’t learn English as fast because of the education, too.
