-Caveat Lector-
This reminds of the guy that was either fired or asked to resign because he used the
word "niggard" (meaning stingy). The interesting thingabout this is people are
shooting first and aksing questions later based on appearance or sounds without
having the depth of knowledge or experience to justify theiur reactions. Note that the
country name of "Niger" is usually pronouced "Nigh-jeer". And I don't know who
named it that. Could it have been the indigenous population? A<>E<>R
