The other side of the coin is that you can see things in names which are not there.

When I started on helicopters, I lurked in Rotorheads and I saw somebody post that Shawn Coyle had a good handle. I had actually convinced myself that it stood for:
"Sure, and see O'Wiley"
(best done in an Irish accent), before I realised that he is the author of an extremely good book on helicopters ("Cyclic and Collective").
