Abstract

"How remarkably seamless this world could be, if only Shakespeare's words were true. However, we now know better, or perhaps worse. Names can spell tragic divides, not only between tribal peoples of yore, but perhaps even more vehemently today in so-called civilised societies. As a senior member of the IASC, and a participant in its growth over ever since its inception, I do not anticipate such drastic consequences over the loss of a single letter, but I would like to sound a note of discontent."
