(timidly raising hand from the back) I could've sworn I knew *one*
female Jesse back in Texas. But I haven't misspelled your name--yet.
And I knew an American girl in Korea whose name was Jaime [dZeI'mi] but
people were always spelling it "Jamie" because she was a girl. So you're
not completely alone, I guess....
