People do that= , sometimes; I'm not really sure why. I used to work with a person of Japa= nese descent named Ogata, and some customer reps could never figure out tha= t it wasn't O'Gata. I did notice they capitalized Ada correctly. On the other hand, they capit= alized "Cobol" and "Javascript" the same way, incorrectly (should be COBOL = and JavaScript), so perhaps the fact that they got Ada correct was an accid= ent. -- Adam
