I met a woman called Affrica yesterday. The double F annoyed me. Why not just Africa? Messing with the spelling doesn't change it from a continent name to a person name.

The continent of Africa has hundreds of languages to choose from, and each of those languages probably has hundreds or thousands of names...why not choose one of those?

Well...that's really something you don't come across every day. I've heard "Asia" for a first name but never Africa...One "f" would have been much better.

I really, really hope no one tries the same thing with Asia.
