Why the Word Spy? from JacobOjacob

Dear Word Spy,

I was wondering today when I got bored at school why your name is the Word Spy and why you called yourself that?

Kind regards,

JacobOjacob

Dear JacobOjacob,

What an excellent thing to wonder about. (And thank you for those kind regards.)

 I got the name from a picture I saw in a  old book (nearly 100 years old) with a picture of a very sneaky girl in it, carrying a bundle of papers in a room full of books. I thought, hmm, she looks like a spy. In fact, she looks like a WORD spy.

Now, the question is, what about YOUR name? where did that O in the middle come from?

yours in wonder,

The Word Spy
