Thanks. that's kinda cute. Not exactly intuitive, but I guess blind
product companies don't have staffs or departments skilled in thinking up
brand names that actually work at several levels in order to both imply
clearly what the product is, and what it does, as well as make it sound
fetching and desirable. I never would have guessedthat "artic" was meant to
be an abbreviation for "articulate," even after being told it was a synth.
Before someone flames me, let me say that I worked for years as a corporate
communications public relations and marketing writer specializing in this
sort of thing.So I'm only making an interested observation about the word,
not denigrating the company or anything else personal. Just someone with a
professional investment in language.

Artic is short for "articulate".
