why is LIVE and LIVE spelled the same?

It had to do with a quirk in the pronounciation in the German language. Little known secret but they really did mean to name it Life but the letter 'v' is pronounced like an 'f' in German. So (drunk at the time) they wrote down Live thinking they were saying Life. By the time they realized their mistake, the lawyers had already filed for the trademark and patents, and charged their exhorbitant fees, so it was too late... and the rest is history!

I, man, am regal - a German am I
Never odd or even
If I had a hi-fi
Madam, I'm Adam
Too hot or to hoot
No lemons, no melon
Too bad I hid a boot
Lisa Bonet ate no basil
Warsaw was raw
Was it a car or a cat I saw?
Rise to vote, sir
Do geese see god?
"Do nine men interprite?" "Nine men," I nod
Rats live on no evil star
Won't lovers revolt now?
Race fast, safe car
Pa's a sap
Ma is as selfish as I am
May a moody baby doom a yam?
Ah, Satan sees Natasha
No evil lived on
Lonely Tylenol
Not a banana baton
No "x" in "Nixon"
O, stone, be not so
O Geronimo, no minor ego
"Naomi," I moan
"A Toyota's a Toyota"
A dog, a panic in a pagoda
Oh no! Don Ho!
Nurse, I spy gypsies - run!
Senile felines
Now I see bees I won
UFO tofu
We panic in a pew
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!
Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog

But this is one of the problems with the latin alphabet (alfabet!) - you need more than one letter to represent some sounds, leading to much confuzzlement. The Arabs have it better here...Synthbuilder wrote:Actually, a few people do still pronounce the 'h'. The 'wh' sound is not just 'w' as in water, but said with more air.

Suit #1: I mean, have you got any insight as to why a bright boy like this would jeopardize the lives of millions?
Suit #2: No, sir, he says he does this sort of thing for fun.
