Why are you called Whitespashe?

Whitespashe is named after the admin's first coding project, which replaced spaces within a Word document with non-printable characters.

This would preserve readability, but would fool plagiarism detection sites such as Turnitin.

This site was named after this project, as it represents a desire to create whilst simultaneously sticking it to the Man (or in this case, the hellscape that is Twitter).

To pronounce it correctly, say it in your best Sean Connery impression!
