I've finally got the scientific proof for my theory that the meaning of my name and clan's motto, have had more than a superficial effect on me. Linguists and philosophers have been asserting that the existance of militaristic metaphors in our language has influenced our thinking and behaviour patterns in more than superficial ways. I, for example, can be a right bitch. Is it my fault? Not anymore! Blame my first name (Lonita) which derives from the Spanish male name Alonso and translates to "ready for battle", and my clan's motto, Je suis pret, which translates to "I am ready".
