Pity you didn't use Exm rather than Exe for your derivation. Even I, as
someone English who knows Exmouth and Exmoor and Exeter, read it as .exe, a
Windows executive, and wondered what the connection was. Those who do not
know England are even more likely to think that exe refers to Windows. Even
now I know, I still struggle to react to it as Exmouth and not Windows.
That is of course a mere pinprick, and not something to carp at when you have
done such a marvellous job. Now I know that you have continued to develop
it, I must try it again.
