Sentence:  One of his neighbours opposite, a nice old guy with a stoop and a horrible little Yorkshire terrier, called him Bill - always had done and presumably always would, right up till the day he died. It actually irritated <WSD>Will</WSD>, who was not, he felt, by any stretch of the imagination, a Bill. Bill wouldn't smoke spliffs and listen to Nirvana. So why had he allowed this misapprehension to continue? Why hadn't he just said, four years ago, "Actually my name is <WSD>Will</WSD>"? 
Meaning of the word marked with <WSD> tags:  (male), a shortening of William; also used as a formal given name.
