We approach it as “Can you imagine being with this name at 60.” I do not publish with my legal first name for the same reason as you. I added a middle name, not legally, and I use that middle name when I introduce myself and for publications. I usually keep the first name as an initial, like here: H. Beau Baez I have never had any problems with this convention. Many other scholars also use a first initial, then a middle name. Almost! When we received the insurance documents from my husband`s employer after the birth of our first child, our baby`s name was entered as his real name, followed by the city where he was born, and then our last name. We panicked slightly and checked his SS card and birth certificate to make sure we hadn`t really named our child, for example James Indianapolis Fox. www.reddit.com/r/AskAcademia/comments/3xm409/academic_publishing_and_having_a_cutesy_female/ One of my friends was supposed to be Cara Aileen, but her father (probably tired and stressed) was confused about how to spell and misspelled it. It was close enough that they didn`t notice it during AGES, but now at 25, his middle name is still legal “Alien” In late October 2013, moderators of the “r/politics” subreddit banned a large group of websites. Some were left-wing opinion sites like Mother Jones, HuffPost, Salon, AlterNet, Rawstory, The Daily Kos, Truthout, Media Matters, and ThinkProgress, as well as progressive blogging sites like Democratic Underground and Crooks and Liars. They also banned a number of right-wing websites – Drudge Report, Breitbart, The Daily Caller, Dailypaul, Power Line and Reason. Salon reported that “section moderators said in a post Tuesday that the goal was `to reduce the number of spammy blog submissions and sensationalist headlines.`” The purge, the moderators explained, also targets websites that offer a lot of “bad journalism.” [241] The December 2013 list of banned websites has changed since late October, and websites with original content such as Mother Jones and The Huffington Post are allowed. [242] Moderators also banned RT, which moderators said was due to election manipulation and spam, although one moderator said he wanted RT banned because it is funded by the Russian government.
[243] [244] In 2010, Reddit launched its first mobile web interface to make touchscreen sites easier to read and navigate. [101] For several years, Redditors relied on third-party apps to access Reddit on mobile devices. In October 2014, Reddit acquired one of them, Alien Blue, which became the official iOS app Reddit. [102] Reddit removed Alien Blue and released its official app, Reddit: The Official App, on Google Play and the iOS App Store in April 2016. [103] The company released an app for Reddit`s Ask Me Anything Q&A subreddit in 2014. [104] The app allowed users to view Ask Me Anything, receive notifications, ask questions and vote. [104] The site is known for its open nature and diverse user community that generates its content. [147] Its demographics allow for a wide range of topics as well as the ability for smaller subreddits to serve more specialized purposes. [32] The opportunities offered by subreddits create new opportunities to attract attention and encourage discussion in various areas. Reddit gained popularity in terms of unique users per day and was a platform for advertising for multiple purposes.
[148] In addition, Reddit`s user base has spawned other sites, including the image-sharing community and image host Imgur, which began as a gift to the Reddit community in 2009. [149] In the first five months, it went from a thousand visits per day to one million page views. [150] The website has undergone several product and design changes since its launch in 2005. When it launched, there were no comments or subreddits. Comments were added in 2005[19][105] and interest groups (called “subreddits”) were introduced in 2008. [106] The ability to create subreddits led to much of the activity that Redditors who helped define Reddit would detect. He said he and Reddit would continue to advocate for net neutrality. [177] I think it`s so nice that you and your brother choose a new last name together. I am happy for you that he will soon leave your mother`s house and that you will make this new beginning together. I wasn`t born in America, but I moved here when I was less than a year old.
I have a legal name and a name under which I go. I have virtually no attachment to my official name because it is a misspelled version of my name in another language (the translators when I came here decided on the spelling). No one ever calls me by my official name, not even my family, when they speak that language. I knew a girl whose mother said to her father, “Her name is Molly,” just before she fell asleep in the hospital and the father filled out the paperwork, but I couldn`t remember how to spell Molly and that`s how Mahley was born.
