    That’s the post I found out he’s not literally named ‘Joe’. Would be even more embarassing if I was american, but still.

      You’re shocked to find out Joe is short for Joseph? No surprise you’re embarrassed.

        I knew that Joe could be short for Joseph, it just never occured to me that you guys would address the president of all people with a short form.

        There are people called Sam and not Samantha. There are Matts that aren’t Matthews. There are Joes that aren’t Joseph.

        Maybe don’t be a Richard?

          Nicknames as legal names is one of my pet peeves, and I acknowledge that I have no right to have an opinion about someone’s name.
