Because of the horror that suggestion would have produced in some of

Who is the rest of 'some of us'?
Do you really want a list? How
long a list? We are a not small section of
the population still. (Note: I said "you", not "u", as does the
majority of
the people on this list.) I haven't noticed you saying "u".
:)
Sorry, don't get that bit.
Mind you, the Ford Ka still seems to be selling. But
not to me.
To me neither, and not least because of the name!
I
_could_ not have used something called "Kool".
Which is probably why
they changed their minds.
Quite!! That is what I was suggesting. It was, I am
sure, very off-putting
to most of those choosing the name.
I doubt it. Program/application names aren't necessarily meant to make
sense or be 'real' words and quite frankly, I couldn't care less about a
name, Kool Desktop Environment is fine by me, just as Klop, Knock,
Kanything in fact would have been, as long as it worked, but hey, each
to their own. I wasn't have a dig, just a bit of Christmas joviality.
Have a good one.
