		Myers, Lovejoy says, "deserves credit for being the first to say that the number was large and for doing so at a time when it was difficult to make more accurate calculations." But shoddy methodology is shoddy methodology, whether it gives the result one is after or not.
		In fact, the "more accurate calculations" that Lovejoy and others have advanced in the years since are hardly any more scientific than Myers’s original guess.
		Lovejoy admits that hundreds of thousands of species that should already be extinct according to his and Myers’s calculations are not extinct but explains this away by insisting that they will be extinct.

		The spelling of the name became "Lovejoye." Eventually the final "e" was dropped. (3) A third theory is that the name Lovejoy was derived from the ancient Saxon Leogive, meaning a beloved giver. SURNAME SPELLING In English archives the surname Lovejoy has a number of different spellings.
		It is often thought that the Lovejoys came over with the Engles and the Saxons prior to the Norman Conquests because of the derivation of the name, however what is often forgotten is that the Normans were of the same Engle and Saxon stock.
