Well, technically, my name ought to be spelt Rædwulf, which I occasionally do as a signature, but most people don't have a clue about ALT codes for special characters (ALT+0230, if you're interested), ae is much easier, and it's not like I care...

Oh, and technically it ought to be pronounced "Radwulf" - æ is the A/S letter æsc i.e. ash (sc in A/S is pronounced 'sh' so scip would be 'ship'. Or 'sheep'. Depending on whether it's a long or short 'i'. Confused yet? ;-) ), with the short 'a'. But 'ræd' became the word rede i.e. counsel, and most folk pronounce it, even if only from written, as "Raidwulf". Again, I don't care. The curious thing is the couple of Yorkies who have known me by this name are actually incapable of saying "Raidwulf"; it's always "Radwulf". The curiosities of dialect, eh!
