Subject: Bill/William, Bob/Robert
Author: Mike C   (Authenticated as Mike C)

I am going to be on the radio tomorrow morning! "The Morning Edition" on CBC Radio in Saskatchewan. It's going to be very brief and they've already told me what they're going to ask:

"How did Bob come from Robert, and how did Bill come from William?"

I have a very rough idea what I'm going to say, but does anyone have any thoughts on this?
