Grammar question:I want to add something to the end ofmy user name so others wont use it.Should i use ™,©,or ®

And please don’t waste time with answers such as “Unless it is legally registered you are just wasting time.” I just didn’t know which of those would be the appropriate one to use after a title.

™ can be used for any trademark, registered or not

® can be used only if you have registered your mark with the Patent and Trademark Office

© is for copyrighted work. A copyright for any original material is automatically conferred to the creator. So this mark is the closest of the three for what you want to do

They’re all “appropriate,” as they have no real meaning outside of copyright or intellectual property issues.

You can use whichever one you want, as you clearly understand that no legal action against its use by others can be enforced or implied. I like the “tilda” personally (the CAP setting to the left of the #1 on the top level of the keyboard).

Good luck!

Well the copyright symbol (c circled) would most accurately say what you want. The trademark symbol and the R (registered trademark) are more for brand names or products.

You shouldn’t need anything. As a unique identifier, the system’s own software will prevent anyone else from using your username (if they could, it wouldn’t be a unique identifier).
