      And the "best answer" is wrong. Last name is not always based on father's family name. Why should a single mother choose to name her child after someone else's family? This also completely fails to take into account such customs as the Icelandic habit of using patronymic or matronymic naming - so that the last name takes the first name of the parent and adds Son or Dottir to become the new last name.

        I'll play, which two dots. Also, if you were an actual Arab, you'd know why teh spelling has two variations.

            I would certainly agree that it would be no more than 100% and probably not much less.

            More like 15-20%, atcherley -- the bulk of them in the earlier stages of ESL. More people speak Mandarin (and a lot more people read Chinese than English).

              Too easy Try this: Password must be longer than the equivalent base of the prime number based letter of your name in Cantonese writing. Must have at least one word from elvish, Mando'a, Twi'leki, Jawaese, Sullustese and Ewokese. Numbers must be used that have the same value when converting from binary to decimal being equal to half the value than from Hexadecimal to Octal. At least 3 character must be glyph (any). Lastly, only blood of a virgin born on the 13th July of a prime year before 1920 with both parents living accepted Wish I could give you example but CP might clone the blood sample I got. :suss:

                What about the Spanish [come in Joan we need you] where they take both parents' patronymic [new word of the day] names.

                [citation needed][^]:

                For example, if a man named Eduardo Fernández Garrido marries a woman named María Dolores Martínez Ruiz and have a child named José, there are several legal options, but their child would most usually be known as José Fernández Martínez.

                And Magyar names are reversed family name then given name; hence Nagy Vilmos and not Vilmos Nagy. Or Norfolk? They only have three family names in the whole county [and two of them are imports].

                  Looks like "Jako P Jako" to me, so I vote for "Jackie". Every character is totally alien to me. I kinda like that.

                            Well, first name Peter (Pete being the short hand version). O'Hanlon being the surname. Which bit of this is my whole name is confusing? And if you want to know the format in my country, I suggest you look it up - it's not hard to find stuff like this out on t'interweb.

                                  In that case you need to change how you spell your name in English then, it isn't acccurate.

                                    How many Chinese speak some English? I would suggest it runs to Millions. And there are 1.1 Billion Indians for whom English is one of the Official Languages. Virtually every European has some English. Nigeria is the largest country in Africa (By population) and it speaks English. As do Kenya, Zimbabwe, Botswana etc. There are at least 1.5 Billion speakers of English, rather more than the 1.02 Billion speakers of Mandarin. Of the about 200 countries in the world, one third speak English as an official language.

                                      Just because you want it to be so don't make it so[^]. -- If you include people who speak "some" of a language, the figures are even worse. -- If you include people who read Chinese, they're off the charts (there are several spoken Chinese languages, other than Mandarin, but only two written Chinese languages, which are readable by all). -- The figures for English include the population of the USA, who have their own language, which is in some ways more different from English than Cantonese is from Mandarin.

                                        Only an accountant could typo a fifth as a third. And let's not bother to mention that most of that fifth are countries so small that you can drive through them in a day (or could, if they had roads).
