About

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

My nickname is a deliberate misspelling of the English word "inchoate" which I pretty much picked at random out of an unabridged English dictionary because I thought the definition sounded cool.

inchoate
adj.

1. In an initial or early stage; incipient.
2. Imperfectly formed or developed: a vague, inchoate idea.
