I wonder if Speranza remembers when he first signed onto the old Phil-Lit, I
sent him a off-list post with the salutation: "Say hey, Jorge!"

I possibly missed the rhyme. To have 'Jorge' rhyme with 'hey' you need to
pronounce 'Jorge' so that it rhymes with 'hey'
sei hei hor' hei
but there are distinct features with that:
'hor sounds like "whore"
'hor HEI' seems to have the stress on the wrong syllable. As when in Paree
they call Geary, Gearee, djiRI:

The blame is my mother.
She thought "J. L." was fitting for an intellectual as I was in her womb.
At least on the good side, Borges must be the only "Jor-HEY" who is both O.
B. E. and K. B. E.
How can I be liked to be called "Jorge" when I NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER
heard my mother use that term in referring to me!? (She never calls me
"Jorge-Luis" either -- oddly she calls me 'Sun', or 'Son' -- I don't know how
she
spells it).
Cheers,
J. L. Speranza, Esq.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
