I was driving on the freeway a few days ago when I came upon a truck with a business name on the door that caught my attention; "A American Dream Landscaping". I thought perhaps the "n" had fallen off, but upon closer inspection (as I paced the truck staring at this curiosity) there was no such space available. When I got home I went straight to the internet to do some "research", there had to be a good explanation for this. Perhaps "An American Dream Landscape", "American Dream Landscape", "A Really Bad American Dream Landscape" or all business names using proper English were taken. I went to the Oregon Business Registry and found the sad truth. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! How is this possible? How many people must have seen this name before it became official? Friends, family, people processing the application; not one person suggests an alternative? I have a American dream, if you're business name isn't in a proper form of it's language you can't register it. Have a awesome day.

How embarrassing! Cringe.
Maybe the guy just has a stutter when it comes to the letter 'A'
I sure hope our stuttering friend doesn't read this. It could cause a altercation or a incident.
I just love how much effort you went through to confirm your worst fears. Go Jeremy.

They do that so they can be alphabetically first in a phone directory listing. For example AAA Acme Corp. will get filed before An Acme Corp.
