Why do people use the term "Company Mode", if its name is simply
"Company"? I get the impression the former is a misnomer. Is it a
misnomer?
If it is a misnomer, do we say anything that encourages it? We could
change what we say, so as to avoid promoting the term "Company mode".
Maybe we should write it as "Comp-any" to make the meaning clear.
