| As a point of cultural and linguistic reference, I'd like to put in a few words on the reoccuring nature of "ian" in an Armenian phone book. In other nationalities, a last name that ends in "ton" means the person's ancestors are from the town that precedes "ton." The surname Hamilton is a good example: that person is from the town of the hamils. The syllable "son" denotes that the person is the son of the preceding name in the surname. For example, the original Robertson was the the son of a person named Robert. The "ian" however means that that person believes Fresno is the capital of California and that pilaf is one of the four food groups. That person probably uses expressions like "oof", "eeh" and "eyaah", eats taco chips dipped in hummus and has a fruit tree is his garden. Get ready... |
| And finally, the Star Trek Kardasians are Armenian as well. |
