I see what you did there

lol he is Goswser (Gosu user) not Goswer or Gowser.
Still a stupid name, because he is too kewl to write what he wants us to read.
I think it's pretty clever. It's just hard to type out without straining yourself to think about it.
Not really "clever", because you have to know you have to read it with "1337sp34k" in mind. Not every viewer is a kewl kiddo and thus the name will create a lot of confusion "until you get it".
well he himself said, he regrets writing his name like that because it is confusinng
maybe he should choose a new nick that's simple and hip. like swagger -_-

Huh? Are you sure some changed their names? I think that's bogus.

Goswser is clearly a confusing ID, or at least the spelling is. Having an ID that 95% of people mispronounce on the first read, is not exactly helpful when establishing 'a brand'. It just means you are more likely to have to constantly correct people on the correct pronounciation.

I'm not sure what you mean by "1337sp34k". You either know what "gosu" means or you don't. And you are either clever enough to think of "w" as literally "double 'u'", or you're not. Ignoring the former, I think the latter is quite clever although it's not a proper use of the "double 'u'".

Eh, the problem is that it doesn't work in most(?) languages. For example it's vv to me (double V, not U).
This, however, is a perfectly valid concern.
I never understood why "w" is called "double u" in english. The only letter that has no own "saying". And why isn't it "double v" if at all, as it looks more like that? (Anyone really knows that and care to explain?)

I remember this one guy, he had such a killer name but changed it to something silly.

English uses the Latin alphabet of the Romans. However, this had no letter suitable for representing the speech sound /w/ which was used in Old English, though phonetically the sound represented by /v/ was quite close. In the 7th century scribes wrote uu for /w/; later they used the runic symbol known as wynn. European scribes had continued to write uu, and this usage returned to England with the Norman Conquest in 1066. Early printers sometimes used vv for lack of a w in their type. The name double-u recalls the former identity of u and v, which you can also see in a number of words with a related origin, for example flour/flower, guard/ward, or suede/Swede.
