Shoebox is a program made specifically for languages - it does lot of
neat stuff with lexicons, and (i think) interlinear translations....stuff
like that.

Cool....i use the nick StegBazak (sometimes StegBazaq) on IRC, because i
found one day that someone else had been using Steg, because that was how
his last name started.  Does your friend use IRC? :)
My "Steg" comes from my first name...it was made by my cousin about 6
years ago during a boring class in school.  Him and my brother (in
retaliation) would make up names for eachother and for me, and then
mutate them....so some of the stages before "Steg" were things like
"Septagon", and unfortunately i can't remember the rest.  But for
instance, at the stage when i became Steg, my brother Alan became Ag and
my cousin Jeffrey became Jag.
After we entered highschool and my cousin went
through...<coughcough>puberty<cough>....the names started getting, uhm,
less useable :).

Steg >> Steed (from a line in Romeo and Juliet) >> Steedwanger >>
Steedbanger >> Weedbanger >> Gangbanger >> etc.etc.etc.

Luckily, some of my other friends who heard my cousin call me Steg never
heard the successive mutations of the name :) , so now about 4 to 10 of
my friends call me either Steg or Stegz (i don't know where the Z came
from).

-Stephen (Steg)

PS- only one person has ever called me Stegosaurus, and he only does it
rarely.  He's also the guy who added the Z on the end of Steg.
