Ahhh, username typos.
Bad memories of the time when I spent entirely too long once trying to figure out if someone saying "Athlea" was talking to me. Searched the region (Not Wintreath at the time) for nations with that name, searched the forum both for that name, and to see if anyone even had a name that was closer to Athlea than I did. Then I searched to see if Athlea meant anything, which it does, a company uses that name and it's a person name, if a very rare one, which was really confusing since it started to convince me that it wasn't a typo and maybe if not a username that someone's real name is Athlea.
Turns out they were talking to me and it was a typo, possibly the lazy intentional kind. And apparently I could have just asked, rather than doing extensive useless research. Somehow I never think to just ask.

Could it be that you were afraid of looking stupid if you replied back and it wasn't meant for you? Like when you think someone's waving at you and you wave back, but turns out they were waving at someone else?

I hate when that happens.

lol, athlea

I just spent a good ten minutes rapidly looking between Aethelia's username and what I typed to try find the spelling mistake. I don't think I made one...?

I think she was talking about "hyrda"?

Yup yup, but I was paranoid.

Noooooo, that's going to lead to extending the emoticons outward until the screen breaks again. Stand with me! No more screen breaks! No more screen breaks!

It was actually three question marks. I forgot about that again, even though it happens so often.
