On Evil and the name Z-Lo

There is a possibility that Bosnian, Croatian, Czech, Polish, Serbian, Slovak and Slovenian readers may get the wrong impression of my blog based on the title. I discovered this amusing and perhaps unfortunate fact Googling myself to see how easily my new blog could be found. Among acronyms, also a lot of pages in other languages appeared that included the word zlo.

It seems that in the languages mentioned above, this word generally means evil! (See the Wictionary entry) Ha! Of course, it is different in that in those languages, there is no hyphen and in Polish there seems to be a tilde-like marking through the l. But it is still similar enough to come up in a Google search. As of now, I come up as #66 on the 7th page in a search for Z-Lo among 614,000 results. It also seems to be the name of 1 or more rock-bands as well as the abbreviation for the Manzanillo airport in Mexico.

So Bosnians, Croatians, Czechs, Mexicans, Poles, Serbians, Slovaks and Slovenians, don't misunderstand the nature of my blog! I am definitely a bigger fan of dobro. As I mentioned in my first blog entry, Z-Lo is an offhand reference to J-Lo, Jennifer Lopez's media pet-name. People that know me will get the connection.

I would enjoy hearing from speakers of these languages about this...
