Sorry, I've been reading the Bug posts and keep running across this acronym
that I don't recognize. Could somebody please fill me in? I'm sure it
contains the hidden clue that will provide the magic workaround to this bug
and all other problems in my life. :=} Thanks. J. Marlin

Or you can lurk for a few days in alt.fan.pratchett and wait for the
regular "[FAQ] Acronymphomania!" post by ppint.
Of course, DejaNews is an option...

Chris,
I've noticed what seems to be an acronym in your signature, but knowing some
Greek (KOINE), I imagine is Zeta Omicron Zeta Iota Omicron Gamma.
Unfortunately, don't know enough Greek to know what that is without a Greek
dictionary.

<jnmarlin(nospam)@msn.com> might have written:

Well, 'TZOTZIOY' is not an acronym. It's a nickname (to spell it
correctly, substitute an Omega for the first 'O') which is based on my
surname; a nickname that comes from the era of my primary school. The
two reasons I include it in my signature are: 1) my friends can
distinguish me from other persons (my surname is fairly common in
Greece), 2) TZOTZIOY makes my posts easiest to search in DejaNews.

The correct way to pronounce it is "tzohtzee'ou", if you care about it.
Tough and pretty foreign for English speakers, I believe.

PS. BTW, having accounts on various UNIX machines, 'tzot' seems pretty
unique (even around the net) as a nickname. The more common 'chris'
doesn't work that good ;-)
