What is dready?
I’ve been using dready as a personal handle for at least 6 years now. Many people have expressed their confusion of the word “dready” whenever I spelt it out to them. They don’t usually ask me directly what it is but I can tell by the look on their faces, I can see it even over the phone:
XYZ: Can I have your email address please?
Me: Sure! It’s wil _at_ dready _dot_ org, ‘d’ ‘r’ ‘e’ ‘a’ ‘d’ ‘y’.
XYZ: …
Me: Have you got it?
XYZ: .. yes.
Me thinking: you sure?
Yet, some have called it d-ready, or mistaken it for “already”.
So, what exactly is “dready” and how should I pronounce it?
Well, I was inspired by the character on the record bag that I was using. Later, I discovered www.dreadybrand.com and is accompanied by Sista too! As you can see, they’ve got dreadlocks, and that’s how “dready” got his name. Pronounce it as \dread”y\.
Eventhough I don’t know where the bag is right now, I can always go see dready and get that warm, nostalgic feeling.
