It has been 0 days since I last had to get out the name guide to avoid looking like a idiot

I highly recco this PDF, even though it's aimed at Anti-Money-Laundering it's super interesting in general

So much of my own posting is me putting a bunch of words so I can find it again via my own search function years later, some people have fancy internal wikis, I just post

You all get to "suffer" from the neat things I find

@benjojo this is literally the only reason I blog. Because future me is so stupider than current me, but probably wants similar things.

@benjojo nvm. interweb has this newfangled 'search' thing I discovered. https://www.fbiic.gov/public/2008/nov/Naming_practice_guide_UK_2006.pdf looks good enough for me :-)

@benjojo That’s interesting, thanks. Who produced it? It mentions a General Secretariat. Not the horse, obviously…

@benjojo WOW, this is incredibly useful. How many times I have been thinking how does this persons name work.

@benjojo
Great document. Boils down to the simple "someone's name is whatever they tell you it is"
