@paaiyan- true i didnt think about that before i originally posted, and in all my newfound knowledge from you guys i realized that the lead sinker theory could work, quite well at that.

@clide- Yeah, i hadnt considered that either.

The half-shortenings that people use aren't ideal.

It is indeed about sharing, but much as paaiyan said - I myself am not 100% certain about the theory I have (given I can't test it, I don't know how sound the theory is), so I'd like to think it through more before I post anything as solid fact.

I'm lysdexic and I didn't see the two a's in your name, so I assumed "Ardway" was a last name and "Joann" was your first name. :oops: Sorry.

But, you could always post it as a theory, and then we could all discuss it and eventually find out how they did it.

Quite obviously from just those two words.

But it's not a problem... I've had everything from Jo through to Joanna when people drop varying numbers of letters from the end.
