I'm so fucking tired, I can't see straight.

ANYWAY:

Need to know why Americans call people who are called John "Jack" instead of "John," which is their name. Don't ask, I seem the be watching the Kennedys. But seriously, WHY IS THAT?

I think it is just because Jack is a form of John so it's like a nickname. I have to say I never knew that about Jack Straw, see your journal is so informative.
