My name is Amir Aharoni and in Hebrew it is spelled אמיר אהרוני. It is not really important; I just wrote it to demonstrate how text appears to speakers of Hebrew (עברית) when it is not properly defined as ltr or rtl.

My IRC nick is 'aharoni'. I am a strategist in the Language Engineering team, but this is a private account. My official WMF account is Aaharoni-WMF.
