Reed=Read Read=Red Therefore Reed=Red

What a mixed up mumbled up shook up world we live in. All my life for as long as I can remember I've known of the game Monopoly. Within this lucrative game of "who can bankrupt their neighbor first" there are four railroads... B&O, Pennsylvania, Short Line, and Reading...

Well it turns out that most everybody who plays the game Monopoly doesn't know how to read, including myself. Reading railroad is actually pronounced Reading railroad. This just blows my mind. The way I've always read Reading is by reading Reading, and it turns out Reading is the wrong way to read it.

I wonder if the language of clicks and whistles ever has this problem?
