Did you ever have a word or phrase that you just couldn’t get right unless you concentrated on it?

I was a bit amused by KRLD’s business analyst, David Johnson, this morning as he consistently called ATI “AIT” in his coverage of AMD’s purchase of ATI.

I always have to remind myself to say the letters when talking about SAP, as I always get the impression that SAP users don’t like it when you say “sap.”  Fortunately I rarely have to deal with it. 

The Mugato is a creature from an episode of Star Trek (the original series).  The creature was originally called a Gumato in the script, but DeForest Kelley (the actor who played Dr. McCoy) had such a mental block about the name and so consistently called it the “Mugato” that the script writers just gave up and changed the name.
