Huh? I hear the geeks talk about "Mach" and "TeX" all the time.As for name lojbanization, my name "Sunnan" is a wonderfully ambiguous Swedish word that can mean either "to the south" or "from the south". I had trouble figuring out which of the two that {snani} meant, so I went with it, dropping the final 'i' so it sounds the same, as well. ({snani} means "to the south of", but what would you call a wind blowing from the south?)
Did I tell my name lojbanization story already? I forgot, and I don't have access to my "sent email box".
