Indexing

I was indexing names today.  For fun, and since I have nothing better to do with my life.  Any way, there was one name that I couldn't read, because it was smeared.  Well, actually there were lots of names that were smudged, but most of them I was able to make something out.  This particular name I could read the first two letters and the last letter.  So I looked up what I was supposed to do with this amount of information.  Since there were multiple letters I couldn't make out I was to use the somewhat standard wild card of *.  This did cause me some concern, since what I had to submit turned out looking like this Sh*t.  to the poor family whose named ended up like this, I'm sorry.
