Interesting.  I stopped reading the ARCWARS postings after a while, and
didn't know about this business of using ARC as a verb, etc.  It is my
understanding that a trademark _must_ be an _adjective_.  Thus, technically
Coca Cola should always (ha) be referred to as "Coca Cola Soft Drink" or
the like.

But then I'm not a lawyer (thank ghawd).
