I emailed Hrvatski a year ago asking him why he picked that name since
it means 'Croatian' in Croatian, and since his name (Keith Witman) is
clearly not Croatian. He said there was a poster in a subway station
advertising learning other languages, and one of the languages was
Hrvatski. The word sounded cool to him, so he started going under the
name ...
Also, Qwerty, is IDM quite popular in Croatia? I'm curious as my parents
are both Croatian, but they immigrated to Canada in the 70s. I'd write
this all in Croatian if I could - I mostly understand it, but speaking
and especially writing in Croatian is quite difficult for me.
