I was looking in the back of the April POB and came across an announcement for some new instruments, the POS 150 and POS 180. Seriously? Whoever came up with that name probably should be fired.

Clearly not focus group tested in a country where English is the first language.

FWIW, the POS 180 looks a lot like a Spectra Precision Focus 30.

In Virginia the public educational standards and testing are referred to as "Standards of Learning". The acronym is SOL. What does that mean to you?

Years ago Toyota and Chevrolet were considering a joint venture on a vehicle. The Japanese proposed the name ToyLet.

In medical records, shorthand for "Shortness of Breath" is SOB. It's used every day.
