My first name is Jaanus, when I moved to Australia and looked for a job one of the major job search sites would stop during signup with a message: ‘your name may contain a profanity’.

- raverbashing 6y agoHah. Great message wording. It literally means nothing. "May"? contain. It either contains or not. Why is that a problem? Even better it stating it as a statement, like "yes, your name may contain a profanity" (but you don't like it?)
