I should have a more common name.

Typing "helen-louise needs" into Google gets me no results.

Typing "helen-louise needs" without the quotes gets me this, and the first link on that is me. Google is annoying anyway, because it treats "Helen-Louise" and "Helen Louise" the same, but the former is a single name while the latter is a first and second name.

It matters to me, ok? That's why I don't answer to "Helen" - it's not my name.

How do you pronounce the number 1175?

OK - now, how do you describe a place that is 1175 square feet? Is it "a 1175 square foot place", or "an 1175 square foot place"? The article depends on the pronunciation of 1175, doesn't it?

Fascinating discussion going on over at [livejournal.com profile] epi_lj's - not least of all because a lot of the commenters haven't actually realised what the problem is!
