As an Electrical Engineer, I always wanted to name a boat CMOS
(pronounced Sea Moss) for Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, a popular semiconductor technology. Most would agree, it is a bit too obscure and would likely never get pronounced correctly -- save for the occasional electronics enthusiast. |

Why do you then not name your boat "Sea Moss" but superimpose that name over the letters "C M O S" on the stern of the boat, or intertwine the letters C, M, O, & S into the full name. With the help of a talented graphic artist, you could arrive at a pleasing graphic to place on the boat. --- - Topic-Mimara Unique in the World! --- -=- This message was posted via two or more anonymous remailing services. |

Or just C MOSs which would be pronounceable although most people probably still wouldn't get it. Using single letters KT for Katy is fairly common (especially on license plates) and it isn't that hard a concept. (that would be the Complimentary Metal Oxide SemiconductorS - plural) Where it is important that it be spelled CMOSs instead of Sea Moss (which I don't think it would make much difference on the radio for instance - so what if the bridge tender or marina person gets it spelled wrong) you could spell it phonetically pretty easily. Most of the time someone who's made that mistake will be too embarrassed to say anything IME. grandma Rosalie |
