neutral  Julian Rippon: Strange you couldn't find any hits for "Smitherton". I get over 9,000 hits in Google, but none for "Smithertone", just one for "Smithatone", and 12 for "Smithaton". I am pretty sure that "Smithatone" is a spelling mistake!

  -> Woah!I rechecked and found that my first search only came up with Smitherman. But, checking my second tab, there were 9000 hits as you say. I found over 52 hits for "Smithaton." I guess it's still hard to say for sure which Ann/Anne is correct.
neutral  Piotrnikitin: It's Smitherton, I am doing the same test translation as you, but from Russian, and there is no doubt :) And it will be Dr. instead of PhD :)
