If you have an apostrophe in your name, chances are you’ve run into “Apostrophobia”. That’s right, blatant discrimination (mostly from computers) just because you were blessed to have a name with an apostrophe in it.
The most recent aggressor? None other than the great Google itself. See, Google sent me these business cards that very cleverly have my name pre-filled into the search box on the front of the card. The idea being that I give the card to someone, who then enters my name into the search engine and gets my Google profile. However due to a case of Apostrophobia, Google refuses to show anyone’s Google profile with an apostrophe in their name in the search results.
Shame on your Google, the apostophe-laden are people too! Google is apparently “looking into the issue“, but so far, no such luck.
