#8 #7 The probability of two people having 3 letter initials differing by one letter is 75/26^3. The probability that that's a middle initial is 25/26^3. The formula you wrote is just nonsense. Besides being irrelevant to what I asked.

#13 “A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.” ― Robert A. Heinlein, Friday

#14 What's the frequency... of initial letters in various languishes? Oy, my head.

Sure wish my mom had said to me, every time I questioned the usefulness of insincere social niceties, "You know all those pleasant things I say about you all the time? Good manners. Go and do likewise."
