 I'm not active on many platforms and the ones on which I am active tend to glitch out because I always have weird device setups.

+<P>
+It depends.
+I have the katakana translation of my name on the site index.
+This says my name is pronounced "DEH vin", which isn't really correct.
+It's actually "DEH vehn", which is distinct from the name "Devin".
+In practice you're probably better off just saying "DEH vin", which is what I do.

+No, my parents did not curse me with some ungodly unique name; I got it changed (legally) from what it once was long ago.

+I have said maybe once or twice that I made up the discretion between "disc" and "disk"
+(that "disc" is for optical and physically impressive media, such as compact discs or phonograph discs, and that "disk" is for magnetic media, such as floppy disks or hard disks; there are however exceptions and edge cases).
+That was an exaggeration.
+Someone probably came up with that one before me. I just followed what seemed to me to be an implied convention.

 <P>
 I might have coined the term <I>catfella</I> (a synonym of the conventional <I>nyanbinary</I> on 2020-08-11.
 Or someone else might have coined it first.
 I can't find it used in the same context elsewhere on-line (I used it when referring to my friend Socks) but maybe we'll never know.

+There are "Devenisms" (and you can conjugate that however you'd like with "Trinity" if you so choose),
+which is what I call spontaneous and novel reformations and compoundings of previously-existing words,
+but they're more Seussian than actual terms. I choose words based on how they taste, not how they look.
