Comment Re:Alexa is a silly made-up name anyway (Score 1) 125

Nice ignorance.
In my adopted country, the names Aleksi and Alexi are common. My son, born a few years before Amazon's monster, is called Alexi.
He has an Echo in his room - we changed the wake word to "computer".
He's never been teased or anything - no big deal at all. We just had a few laughs with him about it.

Th word I was looking for was "Spanish", not Hispanic or Latin American.
The point is that speaking a language does NOT define one's nationality.
Most of my (mother-tongue) Swedish speaking friends here in Finland, would without a doubt call themselves Finnish. The exceptions are those that come from Sweden. Pretty sure that if Linus was my friend, he would be be in the non-exceptions.
Finland has 2 official languages.

not a copter type "drone" that we think of now

How is this NOT a drone, based on accepted definitions like "any unmanned aircraft or ship that is guided remotely"?

Why is it that everything that flies now and doesn't have a pilot is called a drone and is a major new concern, even if it's been around for decades?

Because every irresponsible kid on the block has one now.
