Yes, it is confusing.
I'm sorry about that.
We have a Swiss friend whose name is Ursi.
We call her "orsey", which is pronounced like horse-y, but dropping
the h.
Perhaps we should rename him "or".
Or would calling us or cause us even more confusion?

Cause more confusion to us or <person alt="or">us</person>?!
Or did you mean that <person alt="us">or</person> is calling us?

My MATLAB can not find us:
>> person('us') == person('Urs Schwarz')
??? Undefined function or method 'person' for input arguments of type 'char'.

>> which person
'person' not found.

How can we find persons with matlab?
Cornfusing cornucopia of weirdness...
