[Opinions] Re: Conner
in reply to a message by Billina
It looks so discouraging! Conner = someone who cons, cheats, commits fraud ... what's to like? And why not Connor, as in O'Connor? I still wouldn't like it, I don't enjoy lnfns at all, but at least it would be accurate and honest!
I've never seen either version used where I live, and long may it last.

And in Shakespeare too - conning something meant learning it by heart, by Viola in 12th Night for instance. But in today's world people are far more likely to discuss conmen than expert memorisers.
