She was a passionate... But she should be "de
Lespinasse". That is a bit of a problem.
Please be advised that there is a more significant consideration here
than the necessary addition of "de".
In the Finnish language there is a real possibility that "Lespinasse"
would be parsed: "lisping alcoholic pedophile". To explain; "lespi"
can
be with ill will construed as an adverb denoting the property of having
a lisp (Any lisp code working our servers? Didn't think so.)
And "Nasse"? Well Nasse was a clown fairly popular on Finnish TV
(portrayed by a genius actor, Vesa-Matti Loiri) whose shctick was to
quiz children on their habits on the potty to a ludicrously explicit
degree, while taking mock surreptious swigs out of his bottle. If you
think this is strange, I can assure his act was stranger than you can
possibly imagine. (Catchphrase: "Uncle Nasse is veery angry now!") Well,
on the other hand, he did used to wear a "polytechnic student cap" (i.e.
the ceremonial cap of engineering students).
Anyway, good night., and thank you for your time,
Jussi-Ville Heiskanen (aka Cimon Avaro)
