Today, I decided to write about one of my many cultural heritages. Cherokee! biggrin

For those of you wondering what that is, it is a tribe of Native Americans that is/was found in the southeastern/eastern regions of the United States.
But I'm really just talking about this to explain my oddly worded username. Believe it or not, the username isn't intended to actually use English letters. The letters used in my username are intended to use letters from the Cherokee alphabet.

(I actually wanted to use the other names for the object that the name translates into. Unfortunately, aEd was taken and the other names for the object uses Cherokee letters that look nothing like English letters and you probably wouldn't have seen it without the Cherokee font...)

Now then, I don't know how you would pronounce uzsTl in English, but to pronounce to it in Cherokee, it sounds like ooh-guh-sss-tee-lee and it means fish. :3
