Tangent: The Ubiquitous Apostrophe
Just a message to those who fancy themselves exotic.
Adding an apostrophe to your name does not make you look more interesting or unique.
Case in point: Er'nest and Na'Tasha. Just because you decided to pronounce it "all fancy like" doesn't mean your names aren't just Ernest or Natasha.
Or the even more frequent practice of adding an apostrophe to the end of your name, like Rhonda' and Joan'.
Please. I beg of you. Not only does this just make you or your parents look pretty dumb, but you are screwing up sql databases everywhere.
Get O'Ver it alrea'dy.

People really don't understand that like it or not, we live in a database driven world and it will not conform to them. If they want a job, they need to get over themselves.

Exotic spellings drive me nuts. It just makes it look like your parents didn't know how to spell.
People really put an apostrophe on Rhonda? That's ridiculous.
