Prior to Ada 95, Ada was a registered trademark of the DoD, and the DoD did not 
allow their trademark to be used for anything except the complete language 
specified in the ARM.

The joke at the time was that defense contractors would hire anyone who knew how 
to spell Ada. The correct spelling was "Ada®".
