Certain stuffy (and now deceased) members of my family, 
despite emigrating to the Americas during the Industrial 
Revolution, insisted that the proper spelling of McMillan 
involved elevating the "c". Wonder if there's a unicode 
character for that, so I can get righteously indignant whenever 
people fail to use it.

Personally, I'm delighted when people don't add extra letters 
to my name, and even that's pretty silly, since all the 
variations on M*M*ll*n come down to how some government 
clerk chose to spell it.
