    Used to teach largely foreign students at UCLA. More than once, at the beginning of the semester, reading the roll, knew I was in trouble. Names I could neither read nor pronounce. Some required the click language

    Had to make a deal with those students, who were good-natured about it, to give 'em diminutives.

    C'mon, you're making that up!

    (I'm actually afraid to Google it, just in case it's true.)

    But for many people it's a toss up between Haye and Jones.
    And if you think I am kidding, listen to the great pseudo-intellectual Norman Mailer try to say Ali. Always said Ollie.
