Do I need to get permission from people to use their name in a book?
I am writing my dad's life story and wonder if I need to get permission to use the names of people he knew that are probably all dead now. Should I change the names, especially since a lot of the things I am writing about I am having to make up the names and places anyway. I know the details of the stories except who and where in a lot of the instances.

Don't they notice the spell checker that pops up on the side? Does it bother anyone else? Does it bother you for people to use IM abbreviations? It bothers me a lot.

Or are they reversed? Do you use your right foot for the gas (or petrol) and is the brake pedal on the left? Also is the gear shift lever on the right or left side of the steering column?
