Subject: Apostrophe in Your Name? You Can't Fly!

This is the stuff of nightmares - not to mention enormous frustration and
possible stomach ulcers. If you have an apostrophe in your name - like many
of Irish descent do - you may find it impossible to board an airplane in the
coming months. Why? Because airline computers can't print an apostrophe on
the boarding pass, the name on your boarding pass will not exactly match the
name on your driver's license or passport. And beginning next year, the two
must match or you don't fly. And they call this progress. CJB.
