Yikes! (or better, "Jikes!" or even "Yijkes!"?) - my bad. And he was on faculty at UT right here in Austin, too.
It's a very common mistake I've seen so often that for a while I wondered whether his name really *was* Djikstra, but I knew he was Dutch and that it couldn't be so. That the PSU picked you for its disclosure is just a random coincidence, I'm sure.. :)
Well, in any case, thanks for setting the record straight, Martjin.
That of course also happens to me once every while. I can take care of myself though -- Dijkstra however needs an advocate for the correct spelling of his name in this earthly realm.
Imagine, for instance, what if he wants to egosurf, google for his own name and finds nothing because everybody was saying Djikstra all the time? That'd be terrible! What, they don't have google in the eternal realm? How can it be valhalla without google? Impossible.
