Thank you, and welcome to the list!<br>
<br>
( I was just trying to find some external support to "Go!" )<br>
<br>
Out of curiosity: when you see the word "mei" do you think of
anything, as a Japanese? Just to double check :)<br>

Just one word, as a Japanese.
When we see the word "Go", no Japanese would think of å, though it's a
familiar unit of measurement.

The gÅ ( å) is a traditional Japanese unit of area and volume. It expresses
a tenth of a particular quantity.

Hi Don,
It does have a very commercial connotation. Consider "Yahoo!" which it
reminds me of:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo</a>!
The name perhaps was intended to be a pun on the word "meigo":
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/meigo">https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/meigo</a>
such as "bewitching, seductive" in Galacian, although if used as a noun:
"a person who is believed to have made a pact with the devil"

I think the name "MEI Go!" is pretty dumb. Just "Go" wouldn't be great --
it's way overused, and doesn't at all suggest that it's a stripped-down
version -- and putting an exclamation point at the end of a name always
looks to me like an attempt to create excitement about something that may be
worthwhile but definitely _not_ exciting. What's wrong with "MEI Lite" or
"MEI Basic"?
