Cool story

We had a visitor from mongolia doing some basic training at work called Juankerxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. A massive unpronounceable name however hard we tried so in the end we suggested he shortened it during his UK visit. He took some convincing to just use Juan - without actually fully explaining.

He was a shepherd's son therefore was not permitted to read books but had been secretly self taught throughout childhood and had subsequently learned enough English [in 3 months!] to begin studying for a UK veterinary degree.

He was constantly apologising for his easily understood spoken English but was one of the smartest people I've ever met.

I worked for them for some years. We had to be very careful in presentations not to use phrases such as Wang Kit, Wang Keyboards etc.

At my branch, we employed a new receptionist, a Midlands girl. She was quickly moved out her role when the support director was walking through reception and heard her answer the phone in a broad Brummie accent “good mornink, wk U.K. can I help you?”.

And yes, you are right, the support department was (for a short period) named the “Wang Care” department.

Years ago, we were asked to register a domain name for a customer and their therapy business - Can't remember the exact domain, but it had "therapist" in somewhere. All I could see was "the rapist", made ma laugh every time it popped up!

"We specialize in Wood" - Think they've got a sense of humour.
