Agreed. Many people do not realize that a name is supposed to denote
strictly one thing.

|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|"> - Thank also to the guy that thought to call Ada language ... "Ada"!"|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Agreed.

Neither Lovelace nor Byron would be good enough.

|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|""+Ada +POSIX +Florist" gives good results in combination.              |
|                                                                        |

|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Searching for anything related to Ada (as I had done, when not
searching just for Florist) produces a lot of noise.
