In the late 90s my Dutch consultancy company worked for McGraw Hill. As a non-native English speaker, I didn’t think much of the name Stuffit until I told a graphics designer at McGraw Hill to use Stuffit to handle a bunch of files I sent her.

I apologized profusely and explained that it was nothing more than a tool to make files smaller. I still think she thought I pulled her leg.
