The votes seem to be overwhelmly for 'farmboy' as one word, even if the dictionary doesn't recognize it. :)

{nod} I capitalize when it's addressing him directly too - though I've noticed that's also mostly when I split it into two words. Perhaps Lex (or the other characters) are emphasizing it in my mind. Maybe that's a good distinction though - farmboy for normal and Farm Boy for a form of address.

Heh, 'ticky' is just something that crops up in polls - a "ticky box" is a check box, and when you have an option to check something, you check it just because it's there. So an option for "ticky" is just giving people something to check just to check something because it's fun to check things in polls. ^^
