我们公司一个叫Curtis，每次我都叫他Curts，should call him Curt, no "s".

冥顽脑袋

这加拿大多元文化，名字也多种多样。作为公司IT人员，创建管理帐户煞是头疼。

有的人姓奇长，十几个字母吧；中国的短才2个至七个。
) d, J1 {+ ~6 l0 l! h/ E/ L5 B0 L这昵称还真得有个对照表；
有的是复姓，早年因系统不支持，只得变用mid-name，他本人也不爽；
女士一结婚，又改从夫姓；
) ]: d# K) ?8 V. L( Y7 @魁省来的拼写都的变；

) }% q$ x) H- n/ P/ ^" V- j读就不谈了，大家相互迁就。自己名字读音公司老总都记不住，唉！和谈我的贡献了。

浪里黑条

佘靖说的很对。

BTW昨天在家门口看见老杨的volvo飘过，我停牌yield了他一下
