Not legal in Canada. Your legal name must use Latin characters only. This is a sore point for indigenous people.

Hello my name is JohnDoe. My name only contains Latin characters, no spaces allowed.
-
Ah, but you see, "John" and "Doe" are two names - first and last - and when you say "My name is", you're really listing out your names, with spaces inbetween!
But then there's hyphenated names, and I have no idea how those are treated.
-
"John Doe"vs["John", "Doe"]vs{"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}-
js
console.log(Object.values(name).join("\n"));

Could be..."Jondo" like, a mononym hahaha.

The Romans also had spaces in between words
-
But did they have lowercase?
EDIT: Hello my name is JOHN DOE. Only latin characters allowed
-
But did they have
lowercaseenglish language?Salve! John Doe nomen meum est.

I was under the impression that that was actually a medieval invention

Did the Romans not use line breaks?
-
Blank spaces arent characters by definition as they're the space that allows the letters to exist
-
Deep. Is Python a form of Jazz?

Yes, and YAML is a war crime.

No, they didn't even use the space to separate words. Take a look at any Roman inscription in Italy, there are no spaces between the words (just like there are no silent pauses between spoken words).

boustrophedon must make a comeback

Which is both entirely understandable, and also tragic because Canada's indigenous written characters are so cool. :D
But also, it's gotta be neat having a name among your people, that "the state" has nothing to do with...
