Why I can't have sameerahuja for an id

I realized this a long time back when I setup a y! account named sameerahuja82. In those days of youthful enthusiasm, I logged on to yahoo chat and was suddenly flooded with a thousand guys wanting to be friends with me.

Normally I'm a nice guy to be friends with, but still, there had to be a greater reason to the madness. As fate was to have it, I soon realized it. You see, my id could be broken down into two very semantically different interpretations -

sameer ahuja 82 : Another despo dude in competiton. 82? What does that mean! Must be his age. Budhdha.

sameera huja 82 : A Babe! She must from Pakistan. They have hot babes there. And she's so young... Just '82 born!

And if you're a south Asian teenager with raging hormones, as are 99% of the "India Chat" users, which interpretation would you see?

And hence did I realize the importance of separators. Namely, an underscore.

That is a genuine issue. But there are creatures who attach no importance to having an ID resembling their name or nick atleast. A couple of examples: -

delhi_cool_sardar
How many cool sardars you know in Delhi? I am sure you will agree that it points to one and only Kamaldeep Singh Chhabra. Doesn't it?

shercheeta
By this time I am about to fall off my chair so I won't be able to write anything more about this. I believe you know who's this.
