    Not legal in Canada. Your legal name must use Latin characters only. This is a sore point for indigenous people.

        Ah, but you see, “John” and “Doe” are two names - first and last - and when you say “My name is”, you’re really listing out your names, with spaces inbetween!

        But then there’s hyphenated names, and I have no idea how those are treated.

          "John Doe" vs ["John", "Doe"] vs {"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}

            console.log(Object.values(name).join("\n"));

        The Romans also had spaces in between words

            But did they have lowercase english language?

            Salve! John Doe nomen meum est.

            Only latin characters allowed

            (That’s all the latin I remember from school back then)

          I was under the impression that that was actually a medieval invention

              Nothing but understanding of words and sentences. It was kind of a whole thing. The space character was revolutionary to increasing the spread of literacy. Relevant

              The inscription on the Pantheon has dots between the words.

      Did the Romans not use line breaks?

        Blank spaces arent characters by definition as they’re the space that allows the letters to exist

        No, they didn’t even use the space to separate words. Take a look at any Roman inscription in Italy, there are no spaces between the words (just like there are no silent pauses between spoken words).

      Which is both entirely understandable, and also tragic because Canada’s indigenous written characters are so cool. :D

      But also, it’s gotta be neat having a name among your people, that “the state” has nothing to do with…
