I am interested in what there is, how it is, how it must or could be, and how we can know about it. Naturally, my dissertation was on proper names.

My email address is the result of replacing 'firstname' and 'lastname' in 'firstname dot lastname at gmail dot com' with my first name and last name respectively, replacing both occurrences of 'dot' with '.', replacing 'at' with '@', and eliminating any spaces that occur in the resulting string. I am also told I have a university address.
