It certainly does matter how the word is spelled. If you don't believe me (or what I said the definition is), look up "dementia" in the dictionary. You will find out the word has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with RCA's component televisions of the 1980s. However, I do agree that the word "Dimensia" was an extremely poor choice of model name on RCA's part for this series of TVs, the reason being the name is just too darn close to the word "dementia". I wonder just how RCA came up with the name in the first place, and for that matter, how many of these component TVs were sold when they were new. I bet the model name turned off a lot of prospective buyers right on the spot.
