Yeah. Usually it’s the good guys that resign! This is refreshing.
It’s probably my Swedish upbringing then.
In Swedish, “sun” translates directly to “sol”. And we have different forms, like “solen” -> “the sun”, “solar” -> “suns”, “solarna” -> “the suns” etc.
But we don’t have different forms for proper names.
