Yeah, I just changed my username again.
Not a big change... a small one this time. And I'm sticking with this one!

The reason I changed it was I got my Greek wrong. My username was supposed to be a made up word that meant "I Dig Good Books". I used a bunch of usernames in the past, and when I changed my username 6 months ago I had been using archaeobibliologist (combining archaeology+biblia to sarcastically mean that I dig books).

But then someone called me out and showed me that the Greek word for "to dig" is exaro. I immediately changed my usernames on most sites to exarobibliologist, except I was stuck on dA because I had to wait 6 months to change my username again. It's finally here, and I just changed it...

Now my username can be broken down and translated as follows: exaro ("to dig") + biblia ("book" or "reading") + ologist ("one who")
This properly signifies that I am "One Who Digs Book Reading"

On A Slightly Funnier Note
I changed my Google Account to exarobibliologist too, and I've recently started using it.

Someone asked me the other day for my email, and I spelled the email for her. She got all excited, and asked "Is that your college major!?"
I never thought it sounded that official when I made the word up, but apparently it's official sounding enough that people think it's a real word, and possibly even a real job.

The Greek root is always fresh / good and pure and yes:


bibli/o 
book /Greek / bibliography - a list of books used as sources; bibliomania - an extreme love of books; bibliophile - a person who loves books. www.learnthat.org/pages/view/r…

Changes are always positive / especially names / making new decoration / yesss follow your inner MUSE always!

You can change it AGAIN/ AGAIN/ and AGAIN if this makes you happy with a deep meaning as this :

"One Who Digs Book Reading":reading:
