PMSL. I did a part-time teaching job at a local University and the username they issued me with (a combination of my first initial and the first few letters of my last name) was very rude :eek: , they had to change it, imagine the students, they would have taken great delight in being able to call me such bad things ;) :D:

Don't feel bad, I have ran into this problem at work and at a University I teach at. Not me, but some of the co-workers have unfortunate name/initials combinations, so much so that the management change the format to full first and last name!!

At the university, the students could get an e-mail address with the college, same problem! they finally did a fix! It did make for a strange list, when I would e-mail my students with some assignments or answer questions!

Really can't...the ones from work are not to be given out to the public, sorry.

Also, same deal with university.

Plus they have fixed it! But as you might imagine, its a very similar situation!
