@GrammarTable This reminds me of blond vs blonde, I’m sure a fair number of people have inadvertently written about the blonde man and the male divorcée by mistake (also, adding accents on QWERTY keyboards is actually very easy).

@RonyGao I think people are likelier to initialize their names like this if they have a compound name like Jean-Paul (JP) but really, it’s up to everyone’s discretion. I know a KC who’s name is actually Casey and an RB whose actual legal name I don’t know. Look at JRR Tolkien! No rules.😅
