That sure reads like "remembers" "the" "lens". Did the keyboard this
was created on *not* come with a hyphen?

A lot of domain names have that problem. I get a catalog for the Colorado
Pen Company, and everytime I see their web address, my eye reads it as
"Color Ad Open".

On the other hand, since I obviously remember it, maybe it's not a problem
at all.

The folks who do the Microprocessor Design Report have the domain name
"mdronline.com". Unfortunately, in their latest brochure, some ad designer
brightly placed the text so that the risers on the "d" and "l" cross the
fold to the back of the brochure. I can't look at the brochure without
reading "moron line". I don't think that's the image they want...
