      Ah, but you see, “John” and “Doe” are two names - first and last - and when you say “My name is”, you’re really listing out your names, with spaces inbetween!

      But then there’s hyphenated names, and I have no idea how those are treated.

        "John Doe" vs ["John", "Doe"] vs {"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}

          Salve! John Doe nomen meum est.

          Only latin characters allowed

          (That’s all the latin I remember from school back then)

        I was under the impression that that was actually a medieval invention

            Nothing but understanding of words and sentences. It was kind of a whole thing. The space character was revolutionary to increasing the spread of literacy. Relevant

            The inscription on the Pantheon has dots between the words.
