I don't see that as a real problem, actually. These days, presentations and even \
spreadsheets are intended to be beautiful (kallos) and beautful when printed \
(graphein). And by the procrustean cutting off of the ending, the whole word becomes \
a lot more abstract, and then it might fit the other apps as well.

I'd be tempted to use s/C/K/, to make it even more abstract, but then we're in the \
kde-apps-are-with-k mood again :-)
