Damn semantic differences between languages!!! When French people say "nom":
"name", they normally mean "last name", or "full name". I see now that
English-speaking people see "name" more as "first name". I used "name" with the
French semantic field and was refering to your last name :) . Sorry to have made
myself misunderstood.

Me too. But usually I hardly get far enough to be able to do that, and anyway I
find it rather boring to call every language after their word for "language" or
"speech", or any variation. I usually try to find more original ways. Note that
it is not a critic directed to you but just an account of my personal taste.
