- kraussvonespy 4y agoculitho may have been the only remaining trademark-able word left in the English language.
- EntrePrescott 4y agoWas culitho ever a "word in the English language"? Anyways, if it's just about finding a trademark-able sequence of letters that can be done with the restricted latin alphabet used in the English language and keyboard, then there would still be the option of doing what nVidia did in their company name and add an n in front of another consonant, for example: nCuLitho … I wonder how Spanish-speaking people would like that one. Or maybe that added letter makes it too long anyways and it could be shortened to… nCuLo
- kraussvonespy 4y agoAgreed. culitho wasn't an English word until nVidia marketing extruded it into the world. In my defense, I was trying to vaguely reference the Problem with Popplers episode of Futurama but failed.
- mchaver 4y agoI guess they all agreed it was a great name. Nvidia: my cuLitho brings all the boys to the lab and they're like it operates at the limits of Physics!
- akiselev 4y agoMy culitho brings all the boys to the lab, And they're like, it's better than a silicon fab, We're laughing our way to the top, With computational power that won't stop! We'll be etching those chips to the groove, Culitho de NVIDIA, making that smooth move!
- pezezin 4y agoSet it to a reguetón tune, and you have a hit right here.
- WJW 4y agoMaybe they did and all involved thought it was hilarious.
- pezezin 4y agoI'm from Spain and knowing the average Spanish person, I can tell you that is exactly what would happen, followed by a "no hay huevos" (literally "no balls").
