Some people have strange symbols in front of their names... what do those mean?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Those are the moderators, and admins. You will probably want to be a bit courteous at first. Some are friendlier than others are. In addition, some are more demanding of players, and also some don't deal with the actual players at all. So, when talking, consider who they are, and mind the rules. Do not make a scene anywhere. Just go back to the beginning and start running it all through your thick skull again.

What about strange fonts, typefaces and symbols in dialogue?

The Rerun Project: FAQ
Occasionally the characters read, speak or write in text other than Schulz' usual capital style. When the text is deliberately another font or writing style, enclose the text in tags. Where Sally writes cursively (the continuous loop-style writing) use <cursive>. If the text is typed, such as when Snoopy writes on his doghouse, use <typed>. Other obvious deliberate use of fonts can be done similarly.

What is The Sign of Eth?

The Rush Frequently Asked Questions on the Internet File
I remember looking up "eth" in the dictionary after I found my brother's FBN album in '74 or '75. In fact, I looked up a LOT of words from that album back then. :D From American Heritage: edh n. 1. A letter appearing in Old English, Old Saxon, Old Norse, and modern Icelandic to represent an interdental fricative. 2. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet representing the interdental voiced fricative, as in /the/, /with/. edh looks like a lower-case "o" with a wavy propellor.

I used chocolate chips of from Girardelli. One should probably aim for dark and not too sweet chocolate. Pour the chocolate over the beans and smear it so that each bean is covered - you should have a single layer of covered beans not too far apart. Place the beans in a pan (no teflon) and roast them.

Leta rhymes with Rita and pita. LEE-TAH or LEE-DAH. We could have spelled it Lita to make it easier for people to pronounce, but she is named after my mother's sister, Leta Kay, who died when she was five months old. Spelling it any other way wouldn't do.

How do I pronounce "anisotropy"?

Cosmic Microwave Background - FAQs
If you've never come across this word before, then (obviously) it's new to you, and so even professional cosmologists sometimes pronounce it wrongly. This then is a good question, but hard to answer in plain text! Basically, the stress is on the third syllable, and the common mistake is to stress the fourth. The confusion presumably arises from knowing how to pronounce "anisotropic", and then thinking that you just pronounce it the same way, but without the final consonant.
