Ellison Renames Yacht: Backwards Spelling Awkward

Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, one of the wealthiest people in the technology industry, had named his 191-foot yacht "Izanami," a reference to a Japanese Shinto deity associated with creation and death. However, the name was later dropped after Ellison was informed that when spelled in reverse, it reads "I'm a Nazi," a phrase widely considered offensive. The incident was detailed in a profile published by Vulture. Following this discovery, the yacht's name was changed, the report said.

... "Izanami," ... However, the name was later dropped after Ellison was informed that when spelled in reverse, it reads "I'm a Nazi," ...

Only if you misspell "I am..."
