Nor do I. One that caught my eye:

4. arctic – Note the C after the R. Say /ARK-TIK/, not /ar-tik/.

Coors actually makes a beer they call "Artic Ice".

Is there a reason or are their marketing people morons?

Their ‘Intellectual Property’ lawyers likely instructed them that spelling the name in that way would strengthen their claim to the trademark.

Oh definately a reason. After a few nobody bothers to pronounce the first “c”.

I’d bet they purposely spelled it as “Artic” in order to be trademarkable.
