When I started using the internet, I would read pom as porn given the horrible font and terminal I was using. It made for some really awkward misunderstandings.
Google ReCAPTCHA, back when it was about OCR'ing books, has apparently made that mistake with pom.xml --- no surprise, I bet 99% of people who saw a CAPTCHA saying "pom" thought it said "porn".
I've had similar isseus with some sans-serif fonts and uppercase letters joining together to form another letter. This might not be the best example but you get the idea... https://i.imgur.com/v2A3m4z.png
