No, you confess and repent.

Tl;dr Swedes and Finns care less than Brits

Perhaps. But without diving in, I'd bet it's the other way around: there is something fishy about the claim, and it's illegal to make there.

Originally called Phoenix, since it was Netscape Navigator, reborn.

But Phoenix Technologies disliked that, so they renamed to a descriptive name for the same immortal bird -- Firebird.

The Firebird database people would have none of that, so after a few-months gap between 0.x releases, they found the closest thing they possibly could which was not trademarked. It had nothing to do with the original name idea, fire being a weak link.

And we've been stuck with that stupid name for two decades.

This is lucky for you, I have not been so lucky and had to be forced to train people that did not have the ability to do the job but were hired solely based on other factors even though their were better candidates.

The thumb-twiddling industry is on a hiring spree?

Love the comment!

Just a note that as soon as you have "cœliac", you also have [aɪ pʰiː eɪ] (and Z̵̰̦͖̟͕͈̣͙͈͖͕̜̉̋̏̑̓͒̋̈̇̊̓̚͠͠͝Ą̷̡̪̳̳̱̞̒̂̿̓̉̈̀̽͋̚͝L̵̡̰̦̮͖̼̎̈̃̉̀̔̋̓̀̎̾́̉͝G̷̨̬̟̖͎͉͚͇̰͇̠͒͂͛́̐͑̒͊̎̂͝Ǫ̸̢̜̩̹͖͙̥̯̹̥̼̐̓͋̆̈̊̓̒͜͝ͅ), thanks to Unicode.

It happens in mine with the same combination of sounds, a case of iotation. Many words which have a "ch" sound in them arose as contractions of "t-y" or "k-y", which we write as "ć" and "č" respectively.

Why are you suicidal?

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as streaming, is in fact, piracy/streaming, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, piracy plus streaming.
