my name has 1 (one) letter with an accent. i have had people and machines tell me "your name is invalid" my entire life. my citizenship certificate doesn't even match my birth certificate after i migrated.

i will never yield to anglocentrism, the resistance only emboldens me. do your worst; my children will have names that'll make your qa leads have a conniption.

it's really funny (see: depressing) hearing countries and organizations tout how "multicultural", "diverse", and "accepting" they are but will immediately turncoat upon being asked to do the work to support their claims.

either store my name correctly or don't store it at all, jesus christ.



> either store my name correctly or don't store it at all, jesus christ.

Thats twelve letters (including the space).


His first name might be Jésus. That would explain the diacritic character.


My interpretation is that the complainant's name is exactly one letter, and it is an accented one, e.g. Õ.

Or Ě.

Or Ů.


That was my interpretation as well. I was making a joke that the OP said his name had one letter, then indicated that his name was "jesus christ". (All lower-case, too!)


sorry, i phrased it poorly. my name has more than one letter, but includes one accented letter.


Jesús.
