Houseodessey is not an unintentional misspelling. My moniker is an ode to my house, which is an odyssey of sorts. That is why there is no "y". Or only one "y". It is an intentional misspelling. People constantly correct it, but I am Houseodessey, not Houseodyssey. I like the ode. Not that it's important but didn't want anyone to think I'm a complete idiot for not spelling it right. Sorry to bring something so trivial up, but it's important to me.

Does this mean I have to check my spelling now? I have a hard enough time remembering my name, let alone spelling correctly!
Besides, I normally abbreviate people's handles to the initials, so BlueLacedRedHead is BLRH, Michel gets to be CM, I'm LG, Hayne is CFF and so on... but you I've always had to type all the way out, because otherwise I end up calling you a HO. Which is rude, even for me!
Hahahahaha! Anyway, I'm glad I know how to spell you now. Just please don't blame me if I post it wrong, since it could be worse! ;D

I tend to call you House, but it is now coming to my mind that the TV character with that name, altghough a compelling one, is an ass... I'll go for HO like Lav!!

I think you could get by with Ode, LavendulaGirl. Short and sweet.

Haha! Andy used to call me HO on idig. It took me forever to figure out why he was calling me that. Yes, I'm dense.
And I realize that it's hard to misspell things and that I never actually have to (mis)spell it myself. Really, I just wanted to clarify that I'm not a dunce. So carry on calling me whatever and spelling it whatever way makes it easiest for you. Even if it's HO. I do like Ode quite a bit though....
