Help[Opinions] Re: Venus or Aphrodite?
in reply to a message by queenv
It'd have to be Venus, I'm afraid, though I dislike both of them.
Aphrodite is too long to go unshortened, and it shortens to Aphro, like a wrong spelling of an old hairstyle.
Venus, apart from its tennis associations, was also the name of a very elderly lady I once knew; she was tiny and plain and had never married, but she ruled the local Scrabble club with an iron hand. So at least it happens IRL.
