One of the most frustrating things about J is its name! For example, on Stack 
Exchange code review it seems impossible to search for any J articles, 
comments, code snippets etc. and I could suggest that rather than bother about 
whether to call the latest version J4, J904 etc which is trivial, you do 
something really useful such as change the name of the language to something 
sensible that can be searched upon. I know that in the past radical changes 
have been made to J eg changing x. and y. to x and y and I also know that a 
change of name would take a while to filter through but I do feel that 
eventually this change would have incredible benefits, similar to the recent 
long overdue introduction of sensible error messages which has been a real boon 
to me!
