This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"Xylophone Zelda". Really fucked over Xenias introduction

Uh, xylophone doesn't start with Z, back to kindergarten until you learn your letters.

He can blame english phonetics. Also X being kind of a joker letter. "Why does eks make the sound zee?"

The teacher clearly said "letter" though, so phonetics shouldn't come into it. If they were named "Pete," "Psycho Pete" would be reasonable and probably accurate.

Also, xylophone is a noun anyway, so after they redo kindergarten, they'll need to go back to second grade (or maybe first?) and relearn basic grammar.

Finally, English phoenetics is an oxymoron, but I don't think kids get into that concept until later on in school, so I'll give you a pass for now. But everyone knows English pronunciation and spelling aren't related and you just end up memorizing everything anyway.

But X starts with Z, so q.e.d.

I don't know what's worse, naming your kid after a fox that uses Linux or a suburb of Dayton.
