[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1682564, member: 28388"] I come from a phone company family and worked for the phone company for over a decade. My mother started with AT&T which after divestiture in 84 became New England Telephone (and the other baby bells). I started with the company when it became NYNEX, which stood for [B]N[/B]ew [B]Y[/B]ork, [B]N[/B]ew [B]E[/B]ngland and beyond (the X stood for beyond). Around 97 NYNEX merged with Bell Atlantic and took the Bell Atlantic name, then later the company acquired GTE and to get rid of the regional/geographical names became Verizon, which we were told was a combination of Veritas, latin for "truth" conveying reliability and trustworthiness and horizon, looking forward to the future. For years customers thought it was pronounced Vara-zohn like it looks instead of Ver-eye-zin. [/QUOTE]
