Not a company but institute. I have a one device laying around made by them. http://www.vsegei.ru Russian speakers may have a good laugh. If translated, it's called "Allgays". |

--- Quote from: rrinker on January 08, 2018, 07:15:40 pm ---Are you married to my best friend's sister? I'll never forget when I first met him, back in 7th grade, and the first time I went to his house. When we met, he introduced himself as John. I go to his house, his mom and sisters are all calling him Greg. Turns out his Dad is also John, but they have different middle names, so they used middle names to be sure they were talking to the right person. And one of his sister also went by her middle name at home, because her first name was the same as her Mom's. --- End quote --- That's quite common in some countries. Americans tend to go for "Junior" if the father/son names are the same, but other countries choose the middle name. I have the same name as my father, but not even my best friends know that, they've always known me by my middle name instead. The only time it gets noticed is when I travel or book flights, because my passport (and flight ticket) have to have my real name. McBryce. |

--- Quote from: blueskull on January 12, 2018, 11:08:43 am ---There is a street called Boulevard in Richmond VA. Can't imagine how they named it. It sounds weird as you won't name a road "Road Rd". --- End quote --- Boulevard doesn't mean road. It's a type of road. A boulevard is a wide often tree lined road which is the main route through a city. McBryce. |
