Interesting that people wouldn't say his name in the Harry Potter books/films. It's similar in the Cancer world or is that the "C" world. No one likes to use the word at all and I suppose we can all understand that - it has bad memories for very many people and we all know someone who has had it or died from it and so it strikes fear into people.
I get asked "how is you little problem?" which isn't quite the sort of thing you'd ask a gentleman now is it? :-) "Are you alright now after your experience?" but no one mentions Cancer directly.
So that's just one of those observations that is ongoing as I remember early on finding that no one really wanted to say the word - I wonder if they didn't want to upset me? Perhaps.
