Sorry Billybob but the only thing that springs to my mind when I see a name like Billybob, is inbreeding yank rednecks, now I do apologise if I am under a little misapprehension, and you are not one of our colonial cousins, but the rest fits quite aptly.
You see there are rules for English, and there are exceptions to the rules, you just have to accept them.
One other thing you really should bear in mind if it can cope with simultaneous concepts, that is, just as if you ever went to the land of the Gauls (France) your name would be pronounced by them as something very different. Would you like to have to respell your name for every country you may possibly travel to?
