My brain...

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'm in the south - I know a lot of given names as John, Johnnie, and Jonathan (Johnathan, Jonnathan, over and over), but very few Johns are called Jack. My nephew is John called Johnny :)
