Crooks & Cons

Crooks: It's an unfortunately named city in South Dakota, isn't that bad enough?

To make matters even worse, look at the name of an accounting firm located there:

Crooks Accounting.


Q: Who would do business with them?

A: How about the manufacturer Con Labs?

"Finit" is a common mispronunciation of finite. Most of us encounter the word infinite before seeing finite (think math class), and assume that you can remove the in- prefix and keep the same pronunciation.

In addition, the name sounds limiting, like there are only a finite amount of solutions available.

You forgot to mention your company name.

An ad seen on TV: Tuesday morning, sale 50% to 80% off!



But where, you might wonder? There is no mention of a store or company name.

I was actually puzzled by this. Further research shows that the actual name of the company is "Tuesday Morning"! How's that for confusing your customers?
