There's No T.
It's what separates the Schwarzenegger from The Schwartz in Spaceballs.
Also what separates Charles Schulz from Sgt. Schultz in Hogan's Heroes.

I'm thinking it has to use WHO IS YOUR DADDY AND WHAT DOES HE DO? for subclassing or introspection or something!

Additionally, I can't be the only person with the sudden, terrible urge to create a competing esoteric language that's all PEOPLE DOWNTOWN SURE ARE FRIENDLY; WHO'D YOU EXPECT, HEDY LAMARR and MOVE IT FOOTBALL HEAD.
