, and some companies intentionally spell them wrong to make the names
catchy. There used to be a beauty shop here called the Kute Kurl, yep,
spelled with a K for each word. One just doesn't know things like that
unless someone mentions it, or unless we ask how it is spelled.

Hi Rick,
Brand names are definitely tricky

Hi Ann,
I think I learned to spell by both phonics and learn braille patterns. I
remember seeing the word something contracted, and when I decided to spell
it out in second grade, I spelled it s u m t h i n g. My error was
explained to me by my resource teacher. After making that mistake, I
figured that sumthing by that spelling would be an addition problem.
Certain words give me problems, unless I think about them: barely and
occurrence are among them. Some words are modern such as configurability.
I don't know if I'm spelling that right.
I have learned the limitations of spell checkers. I was in a work situation
where we used an old version of DisplayWrite for the IBM System/36. When I
ran the spell checker, I got woodpecker for WordPerfect.
I am also annoyed that MS Word always want braille to be capitalized, which
is in conflict with a BANA rule most of the time.
When Ithink of brands that it took me some time to learn, one is QWEST.
That just doesn't look right. How about Chick-fil-a?
