It's spelled like this almost all over the world. I have seen a documentation about it, and in some country, "Aspirin" even belonged to the words that were taught at a school of some indigenous tribe as an example for words that begin with the letter A!
Hell, I've swallowed many an Aspirin in my life, too (mysteriously, very often after nights when I drank a drop or two too much). I could even say it saved some Sundays for me...
But that wasn't the problem anyway. As I said, I
knew that the nick was supposed to read "Aspirin". I just didn't get this combination of letters and numbers put together to form something like "Aspirin". I tried to put something together in 1337, and I thought that maybe the period in the nick was supposed to separate a clan tag from a name, etc. etc... but I never looked closer at that damned number 3.1415... especially since in German the number would read 3
,1415. Stupid, stupid, stupid...
