Aha! Mild shame on me for not reading ahead before posting. So *that* is  
why. Thanks!

I have, at various times, learned of six companies* that misspelled their  
company names. Symantec is the one best known to computer people; it was  
derived from "semantic", and a Symantec employee told me that it was  
misspelled.
*Not including many along Waverley Oaks Rd. that include "Waverly" in  
their company names. ("Waverly" is a correct spelling, too, but not for  
Waverley Oaks. It's wrong even on some maps!)

Although the Millenium Hotel misspelled its name,
it didn't deserve the damage it sustained on 9/11.
