Even funnier, neither can most architects.  I was horrified as I went
through design school.  The spelling is atrocious.  So they make up funny
abbreviations for common building components with which to label their
drawings, hoping that when someone comes across one of their more egregious
misspellings, the person will think it's just another architectural
abbreviation.
