Dang, as I was in the shower I got so upset. Mick, please change your handle.  As one that is part Irish. I find it offensive.  We also need to find another word for “apply”.  It’s a trigger for Irish- Americans.  If your name is Jerry, please change it. German-Americans are hurt by that name.  Limes?  Gotta find a new word. Too close to Limey.  And I’ll leave it to those that work with amphibians to find a new word for Frogs.

When I first started out on the Cardboard, it was "MickthePaddy" so I shortened it.  Didn't want to offend my fellow members of the Irish diaspora. Also, though we have no German background and it is a French name, "Jerome" is a family name through the generations. I'll inform my granddad (Stanford '42, PO in WWII, went by "Jerry") that he needs to change it... ;)
