Earl...there's another name that I never know whether to put at the front
or the back. The British really need to clean up their naming system. I
mean, with a good American name like Jarel Wisniewski or Famadou Moye or
Ali Sadiqin there's really no issue, is there? But this will all be solved
when the EU finishes aligning all European names into a common,
Europanto-compliant system. I understand it involves clarifying each
element of a person's name with a special prefix coded to indicate the
correct reading order and source, as well as a suffix coding the accepted
pronunciation. For example 1-uk-sc/liq:Keith(qit/f)
2-uk-nr/lrd:Howard(ha-[w]ud).
I look forward to reading the final implemetation specifications.
