The Epitome seems to embody almost all concepts Acme tried to reach for,
without the downside connotations. Plus, as an added benefit, it has only
one correct pronounciation but at least two plausible ones, permitting the
cogniscenti to discern those of a less 'au courant' comprehension.

Wiley should have learned from his mistakes. Nowadays, I suspect a smart
lawyer could injunct either Acme, or the new mexico roads department, possibly
both.
