Hello PDMLers,
However I take no offence whith this issue, just wand to set things clear. Family name: Boros; given name: Attila. I know it is a bit confusing in an english text, but we hungarians write it on the other way (family name first). Somebody pointed out that it would be much simpler to change that in my e-mail addresses, and write it as everyone else, but I don't feel it right. Actually on my business card it is reversed (given name first)... conform to the company's "rules". Heck... all my life I was a noncomformist, saying that rules were made just for one to break them.
Attila
Thanks for the lesson, Attila. One of the things I like about PDML is learning a little about many cultures. I never knew about writing family name first. Now you've made me curious about other interesting differences, and I am hoping to see pics of your city or countryside as you see it.
