lateralus's Journal: painful truths

The recent slashdot story about Stallman visiting India reminds me why I can never go there.

My shortend Hebrew name "Yoni", means Vagina in Hindu.

"Nice to meet you, I am Vagina!"

If I ever visit I'll have to get used to calling myself by my full Hebrew name "Yehonatan".

Update: My text contains an error pointed out by a reply. Unfortunatly I will not include the correction because it was posted as an anonimous coward so I do not know who to thank/attribute the correction.

Posting anonimously in JEs is kind of like calling someone on the phone using a voice scrambler. If you answering a JE then you are talking with/to a -particular- person.

Posting anonimously on a /. topic is a simple exercise of your freedom of speech allowing you to express your opinions without fear of retribution.

Pick a name which is less mistaken and easier for the locals to pronounce. These people aren't going to ever know who you are anyway, so calling yourself Lateraleus isn't gonna mess them up at all.
