this shouldn't surprise you but once upon a time i had this friend adriane (i still have her, don't worry) and she and i would spell all the words we would say.... we were young and nerdy. well we got really good at it and really fast and impressed our minions with the speed and agility of our spelling. except there was this one time when adriane was spelling an insult and she wanted to tell our friend jared that he was psycho so she began the spelling and it came out s-o-y-c-o. soyco. but she thought she had spelled it right. it was humorous and to this day, i still use soyco on occasion. the reason i thought of this is because now adriane is a bit of a word snob and she even has a word blog. so as i read it today, i remembered her humble beginnings. soyco, soyco, soyco.
