Seems like an opportunity to mention a company I used to work for, GEC Plessey Telecommunications, or GPT for short. Except in France where it would sound like "j'ai pĂȘtĂ©" = I've farted.

And BTW, the Irish toponym Lough Head sounds in English too much like "loghead", hence the Americanized spelling - Lockheed.
