A barber, an iPhone and the etymology of surnames

Today, I asked my barber for his number, so that I could trace him in
case he moved to another shop. I asked him what his name was, so I
could save his contact info in my phone. He said, "Joe."

(That reminded me of a line from *You've Got Mail*: "Joe. Just call me
Joe.")

Anyway, I saved his info under "Joe Barber". Which got me thinking: Is
this how English surnames such as Baker, Goldsmith, Shoemaker and
Cartwright originated?

Curious, I google Ris Low and unearth a gem of a reader's comment. Thanks @mikefoong and @avalanchelynn!

I think Ris can call it a day! With this kind of standard represent S’pore in December contest will be a laughing stocks. Think carefully what will be result if she still around. The whole world will think that is the kind of standard in S’pore and think that S’pore got no other better choices.

With this kind of England want to comment and talk bad Ris Low, ah? (I stumbled upon the comment above, on an article about Ris Low.) Introspect much? Recognise irony at all?

Interest piqued by @mikefoong's tweet from his new home in Singapore, I went and googled Ris Low to see what the fuss was about.

Turns out I had chanced upon one of her interviews prior to her being crowned Miss Singapore (I think it was linked by @avalanchelynn). It was painful to watch.

So, okay - she's guilty of credit card fraud and very bad English. These are undeniable facts. The others may be arguable. But if good English is a prerequisite to representing Singapore on the world stage, then she's disqualified.

But, please, lah. If you blog commenter feller want to comment her so bad at least you make sure you ownself can speak the Engrand ploperly, can a not?

Artificial Virginity Hymen is created from Kyoto, Japan at 1993. it was first introduced to the locals, then it gets famous and spread to Thailand at 1995 and now available in South East Asia, South Asia and in the Middle East countries. It is mainly made of natural albumin, medical use inflation element and water-soluble base medicinal preparation which have no side effect. Insert this artificial hymen into your vagina carefully. It will expand a little and make you feel tight. When your lover penetrate, it will ooze out a liquid that look like blood not too much but just the right amount. Add in a few moans and groan, you will pass through undetectable.

This bit of Engrish had me literally lol. I'm sorry for the Egyptians' troubles, but this excerpt is hilarious.

American Express take heart - although grammar nitpicking is an everyday affair, it doesn't happen every day.

everyday: commonplace and ordinary; "the familiar everyday world" - wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
 
every day: each day without exception, as in: Every day, he comes home and says, "Hi, Honey. What's for dinner?" - www.business-words.com/dictionary/E.html
 
everyday is an adjective; it only precedes nouns. Every day is an adverbial phrase which means "daily." - www.iolani.honolulu.hi.us/Keables/KeablesGuide/PartThree/Letters/E.htm
