or
take the long-respected brand name of Hewlett-Packard
Instruments and start calling them "Agilent Technologies", a name
that I haven't heard pronounced the same way twice, or again
The worse part is that "agilent" is a very dumb name in many
languages; agile on one hand, "lent" ("slow" in most languages)
on the other.
The measurement/instrumentation half should have kept the
HP name. The agilent oxymoron actually fits the other one.
