name, pronunciation & face

alright, so with all this AGN stuff and, soon, meeting face-to-face, this might be a good idea.

mispronouncing peoples' names embarrasses everyone involved, so it's good to sort that out; also, with the mobilization coming, you may want to remind us of what you look like, since we usually associate your name with an avatar or signature, not your face.

i'll start it off, i suppose.

"martyr," despite being deceptively short, is commonly mispronounced or mis-truncated to things like "mart," "marty," or worst of all, "Marty R.".

i am not Marty R. or mar-teer; it's one word, pronounced, simply,

mar-Ter

(or, if you prefer, mahr-tehr. soft vowels.)

and as for what i look like, i'll skip the usual image for something less threatening in this case, should anyone need to show this thread to their parents.

so, here's me, image chosen by triggar:

ControlledBurn: Pronounced "ass-hole" or for you limeys "arse-hole"

Probably not parental safe

Bad picture, but safe for parental consumption

Any attempts at making this thread parent-safe are effectively null and void.
