I knew it!!!

Back in 2000 I was still in High School Back then I was reading Microsoft Journal with Matt Pietrek's IAT patching articles or EliCZ's many published e-docs. It's why I have yet to age at all, I'm still technically by the Y2K bug default, a teenager

For some reason (maybe because I'm weird), I like to swap first letters around all the time, sometimes I do it by accident (because I'm so used to it), and sometimes I try to intentionally swap first letters and say the words actually correctly, because I double swapped. It's a fun way to keep my nieces/nephews entertained. The younger ones try to help me say things correctly with great patience.

I don't swap letters... but I did make up my own pseudo-language that my dog responds to. Sometimes those "words" bleed into conversations with people and they give me the strangest look. As far as being "weird", that's subjective and it's impossible to compare against what is considered normal because normal's definition changes as time moves forward (styles, trends, buzz words etc.) - if anything I'd look at "weird" as a compliment because anything unnatural is unique

Double swap away my friend

Yeah, when I was a kid, there was a musical I liked to listen to, it said something along the lines of (translated from German) "Everyone is a truly unique original". That sounds a lot better than saying "Everyone is weird"...

Everyone is a truly unique original

Exactly! BTW, I've always been considered "weird", too! In hindsight, not everyone works with code or is introspective the way programmers tend to be. It's a very different type of processing/mindset than what is considered your daily "norm", job wise. I'm comfortable with that because those that do not understand you, you yourself will likely not understand them. Who is the weird one then?
