Nothing as critical (the negative effects were mostly on my company’s side), but I have created problems for a lot of O’Briens, O’Tooles and other people with similar names.
I am a lot more humble about handling people’s names when writing systems these days...
- soneil 6y agoHah, welcome to my life. Many, many moons ago, my employer generated an email address for me, first.o'last@example.com. This is technically valid, but yes, problems everywhere. I put in a ticket asking if I could change it, or at least alias it to first.olast@, for obvious reasons. They never replied. Over the years, I put in a few more tickets for this. Nada. Over a decade later, they got in touch and asked if they could change my email address. Turns out they never received my pleas. Turns out our ticket system was one of the systems I had issues with.
