Reminder: Dang stands for “Dan G.” (seems like a lot of people don’t realize that!)

I must admit, for a very long time I thought he was Vietnamese, as Dang is a Vietnamese name.

Interestingly, I'm finding it hard to shake that initial visual image, even though I know it's wrong. Brains are weird.

It would be my honor. But the origins of the name are (1) it's my first name plus initial; (2) it was my email address at my first job; and (3) it's what you say when you make a mistake, which I knew there would be a lot of.

Dang, because of the lowercase g I've always read it as Dang and said it with a twang in my head.
