Naming Problems

[catcul]

At the bank, the servers use the first three letters of a city. Thankfully, I used the letters TTV to identify servers in Titusville, FL.

Art has to change those servers. I don't know if he'll thank me or not.

What do the first three letters in Titusville spell?

ROFL! Ah fun with abbreviations.

Looks like you've run into an example of the "Scunthorpe Problem" - the difficult task of getting profanity filters to ignore swear words that are embedded in other, innocent words (such as the name of a place in England).

That reminds me of a teenager who had trouble completing his Xbox Live profile because it had the word "gay" in it. He lived in Fort Gay, West Virginia.

Ah yes, the Clbuttic Mistake strikes again.

Reminds me of a Dilbert comic... Poor Brenda Utthead.

[wolfie]

Does Brenda watch clbuttic TV shows like The Jerk van Gay Show?

It would be even worse if she dated someone named Boris Evis.

Also, Cheezburger.com has this example.

I really do feel bad for people whose family names are now profane.

It could be worse, what if you had been born in the 1930s and given the name Adolf (with the last name Hitler, no relation ).

A.k.a. the "Clbuttic Problem", which leads to presidential buttbuttinations, an inability to read the Consbreastution of the United States, and may God help those of us who have to try to program in buttembly language...

I used to go to school with a D Burke. Her parents originally wanted to call her Alison...

I had a girl in my 6th grade class named Tara Highman...that's a terrible name to have around dirty-minded 6th grade boys

My husband went to school with a kid whose last name was Eder, unfortunately his first name was Peter.
