you might want to review some nlp literature to understand the power of
priming through words. i guess 1984 is also a good novel to see the this
power: freedom is slavery ;)

we currently have the same with tafta / ttip. tafta is not liked by our
adversaries, because it sounds like nafta and contains the tainted tla 'fta',
so they prefer calling it ttip - a partnership. we stick to tafta in all our
references.
