Eric Yost will be amused, if he doesn't know it  already that

Immanuel (or "Manny" as I call him) Kant

was actually  Scots -- and they spelt the surname, "Cant".

But when they went to  Germany, not to confuse the natives, he changed it 
to "K".

---- And if I  may: use >>> for quoted text. Your, "Veronica: You should be

I read at first as you advising Veronica!
