[livejournal.com profile] superbacana pointed out to me that the first Google hit for "iTunes recommender" is this page in my journal. Google is weird.

Googling my first name, I found someone named "Rosmarina" talking about me behind my back:
Someone I went to school with had a boyfriend whose names all had six letters. In order to avoid the "curse" he always wrote his first name "Jere7my." The "7" is silent.
Does anyone know who this might be? Curious.

In this age of Google, the choice I made in 1986 to spell my name as I do is seeming more and more prescient.

The "7" is silent.

Ah. My apologies, I'd been mentally pronouncing it "Jereviimy".

Is the 7 really silent?

I've been pronouncing it wrong...;-)

I often pronounce it wrong in my head. I don't think I've ever said "Jeresevenmy" out loud.

But then, I also pronounce Ju1iette (irc nick) "Ju-one-iette" in my head.

My head is a very literal place to be, apparently.

I can't believe your readers didn't know the 7 was silent. :^)

Although I had forgotten the story of where it came from, so huh.

Due to my having totally misremembered the reference, every single google response to 'Vardibidian' refers to me me me. Had I got the spelling right, I would be down around page eight.

Thanks,

freaky that you'd show up there...

This could mean that no one calls it an iTunes recommender. But you coined that word, and it lodged in my subconscious, and that's what emerged when I went looking for it.

Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work for me; it complained that there were non-Unicode characters in some song titles. Argh.
