Another reason for using oo's is for the sake of spelling when someone says some words (tool, book, floor), it is immediately obvious how it is spelled.

Repeated letters in a name also help with typing ease.

Making sure your customer gets your name right is very important, especially on the internet, a typo can aid your competitors.

Double "au" syndrome helps marketability, creating: ease of spelling and typing input, a more friendly company name, better brand recognition and balance.

Wonder why Google hasn't come calling.

In all, teacher compensation will increase 4.14% in the first year and 4.16% in the second year of the contract approved Monday.

Although negotiators for the teachers and the School Board reached a tentative contract agreement around the holiday break, the School Board delayed its vote on the package after the WEA Trust projected that costs for the teachers' health plan could increase 18% in 2006-'07.

"The board just wanted to sit down and figure out what the impact would be," said Darren Clark, the district's director of business services.
