If I'm not mistaken Marcin is from Poland (or his father, or ..) and in the polish language if you want to write the "ch" sound (ch as in check) you write a c with an apostrofe above it if the following letter is not a, e, i, o, u. If it IS one of those you write "ci" instead instead of "c with an apostrofe". Ciemno (dark). , Cma (a type of bug). So, no, his name was not spelled wrong :) Same goes for a few other characters as well. Pronounce his name and it becomes clear why. Mar (ch) in. Ci is a LONG sound. , C is a short sound. So Marcin would be pronounced Mar (ch) n. Compare saying Check or Chck. Same thing. // Stefan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) iD8DBQFCXPqEBrn2kJu9P78RApGGAJ9ltnwuDCNZj4ykTkhvQcPZOEe+wwCglrjT novruf57Yclv7kFlTty5hb8= =qxmZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
