In today's edition of I Can't Believe My Brother And I Are Related, he only recently became aware of
the fact that 'Bill' is a short form for William.
Brother: I can see 'Bob' from 'Robert' because there's a B in there, okay. But the short forms of William are Will or Liam. Where does the 'Bill' come from?
Me: It doesn't matter if it makes sense or not. If you've been on this earth in the last 400 years, you should know that Bill comes from William!
Brother: So someone could walk up to Will Smith and say, 'Hey, it's Bill Smith' and he'd have to correct them?
This went on for about 10 minutes.
