When I first wrote “Ben’s Techy Musings” what I really meant was “Ben’s Techie Musings”, Techie being a (sort of) real noun meaning a person involved in tech(nology).
When I realised that “Techy” is apparently an American spelling variant of Tetchy (meaning irritable) my first instinct was to change the name. I decided to keep the name, however, since it describes me so well. I have a habit of being in a bad mood without realising it, particularly if I’m tired or hungry. I’m like a baby, really. My girlfriend would agree that it is dangerous to meet me (or even phone me) before I’ve had my first cup of tea of the day!
So, Techy it stays and although I’ve put a phonetic spelling of the word in the tagline, the double meaning still stands.
