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.
Then there's us Danes, with "sen" instead of "son" (as many people
think it ought to be). And I can't even claim the wrong form
sounds noticably different, making any defense seem petty.
Obviously -sen is the only real suffix, as it's -sen in Dutch as well,
as in Faas-sen. :)
(Darn those Norwegians, influencing people's ideas of how a
name like Hansen ought to be spelled, grumble, grumble.
If they'd just invent a cell phone that used Python, as the
Swedish have, they might deserve all that extra attention.)

That's not the Swedes, it's the Finnish that did that. They typically
don't like being mistaken for Swedes. :)
That's because their language is derived from Serbo-Croat. But both the
Finns and the Swedes will tell you it's the Norwegians who are
alcoholics. They're all dreadful liars, these Scandinavians ;-)
