In the news:

It's PricewaterhouseCoopers, not Price Waterhouse Cooper. Either way, I am glad to see the results of their study. Of course, facts and good rationale have little to do with public policy, so I don't expect any thing to change.

I have been enjoying Pokerstars, but maybe I should give Absolute Poker a stab...

You can catch more of her on the newest poker show.

And the new WPT schedule has been released.

I never understood why you PWC guys get so upset over the way people say/spell the company name? Is that something they teach you in orientation?

I deposed a guy from PWC awhile back and I kept referring to it as PriceWaterhouse (leaving off the "Coopers"). You would've thought I called his mother a whore. Everytime I said it, he would correct me by saying, "the name is PriceWaterhouse Coopers."

BFD!

A fellow blogger worked at Reliant. You don't have to say he worked at Reliant Energy Corporation. It's just Reliant.

Why do you PWC guys care so much?

Price Waterhouse merged with Coopers and Lybrand to for PwC.

The C&L guys had a bit of inferiority complex and went apeshit over the initial proposal for the name of the merged firm ("Price Waterhouse"). A lot of time and money was spent before the partners settled on PwC. This appeased the guys that came from "C"

The partner you deposed in Houston was from C&L, thus he is particularly sensitive that the "C" part of "PwC" doesn't disappear.

Personally, I call it PW sometimes just to get a rise out of the "C" folk.

CCM is from Coopers because he wasn't smart enough to get an internship with PW.

Btw, to leave the "house" out of "Waterhouse" is a bit of a different animal. It would be like calling you Mark June.
