I've always thought my name was easy to spell/pronounce but suddenly in the UK people keep misspelling it, sometimes several times in one e-mail chain, and I'm a bit bemused by it ... Cheers, Angelika. Hi Anjelika,... ... Thanks, Angelika. Hi Angelina,... ... Best, Angelika. Hi Angelica,...

Big (and sad) news indeed... I've been using the OSF since I was in undergrad and can't even picture what research life will be without OSF projects.
