Posted by off topic! on 10-Apr-2003 15:14 GMT | Don't the French know that shouting is impolite? Why else do they insist on writing their names as eg. "Benjamin VERNOUX", or even worse "VERNOUX Benjamin"? I vote for an immediate resolution to this pressing issue of grave international importance.
1. If you're older than 3 years, do not capitalize entire words that are not abbreviations/acronyms/headlines.
2. If you're older than 1 year, and not mentally retarded, put the last name last, and the first name first.
Aaah, feels good to have gotten that off my chest. :-) |

Posted by Rafo on 10-Apr-2003 17:34 GMT | In reply to Comment 3 (off topic!): That's just a habit, not ment to offense anybody.
Just for example, in France, on most to-be-filled-in documents, the
last name is asked to be written in capital letters. |

Posted by Ole-Egil on 10-Apr-2003 19:19 GMT | In reply to Comment 6 (Rafo): I guess that means french people take things too literally? :-)
(hint, official forms all over the world has the same practice. Doesn't mean we write our names as HVITMYREN all the time... ;-) ) |

Posted by JOKER Bad on 10-Apr-2003 23:43 GMT | In reply to Comment 5 (Alkis Tsapanidis): What do you mean with "attack", TSAPANIDIS Alkis? Lighten up, TSAPANIDIS Alkis. No, I really wasn't being serious, TSAPANIDIS Alkis. I actually DON'T think that this is a matter of great international importance. It's called sarcasm. Please believe me, TSAPANIDIS Alkis!
):-
^^^ a happy French smiley written in the correct order just for you, TSAPANIDIS Alkis. ;-) |

Posted by Alkis Tsapanidis on 11-Apr-2003 08:43 GMT | In reply to Comment 8 (JOKER Bad): I only talked about your second point, not the first:) Indeed it seems wierd
that many french people write their surname in caps. :)
I always write my first name (Alkis) before the surname, while official rules
here state the opposite, it's a habit;) |

Posted by Christophe Decanini on 11-Apr-2003 12:14 GMT | France loves paperwork and paperwork has to be filled like that:
DECANINI Christophe.
This is how you write you name on all your copies at school.
I did write my name like that for a while.
BTW: the OpenPCI driver project is a nice one. It would be nice to see more people joining it. |

Posted by Iggy Drougge on 13-Apr-2003 17:06 GMT | It's really quite useful, that habit. That way, you can tell what is a person's surname. Japanese people often do that, since they put their names in the reverse order (like Hungarians), and if the surname is capitalised, there is no risk of confusion. |
