more sincere apologies for misstyping it.
I personally know the sensitivity about this kind of issues. My name in
Catalan sounds completely different with accent than without. “Gomà” is a

Béria,
I was not calling you out as the only person doing this, you just happened
to be the most recent. Certainly we have a tradition in my country of
shortening names as well (or just adding the suffix -o or -za to them, so
that John becomes Johnno or Barry becomes Bazza), but I would never

Wikimedia Polska (Poland) has just launched its own scholarships

scholarships for Wikimedians from other

Beria, there are two lessons to be learnt here.
1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28PPP%29_per_capita
-- Wikipedia is obviously not to be used as a reliable source,
especially for facetious comments.
2) Re: vodka -
Bah, Wikipedia is the best thing in the world, the problem in this case is
between the chair and the screen ;)
You looking at the wrong place, the right one is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GNI_%28nominal,_Atlas_method%29_per_capita
And regarding Vodka, the only lesson is:
I always thought mother Russia the really inventor of vodka :(

of Vodka I drink will be ''to Poland!''
