This, and other similar proposals, have been already all been considered in the past. The conclusion was, and still is, that *none* of these names are perfectly satisfactory. Prolonging this thread with new proposals (that are actually just rehashes of long-dead proposals) isn't getting us anywhere. This is all missing the point, though, which is that we're wasting time arguing over a miserable little identifier, when there are far more important things we need to be working on right now. I wish we would just call it Zxkuqyb and let it rest already. T -- For every argument for something, there is always an equal and opposite argument against it. Debates don't give answers, only wounded or inflated egos.
