Does Kafka, the writer[1], come to mind for anyone? [1] I dislike that I have to specify. I wish there were still only one common reference for this name.

- mtndew4brkfst 1y agoSo why not elaborate as "Franz Kafka" when you mean the author? It can only clarify and it just takes 6 more characters. People who know both won't be bothered, and people who know neither will have a better time looking up the context.
- layer8 1y agoGP would just have put the footnote on "Franz" rather than on "the writer" then (and may have had to look up Kafka's first name). I don’t think 6 vs. 12 characters makes that much of a difference.
