When looking deeper into this Olympic logo business, I found out that the Games have trademarked the words "two thousand and twelve", "twenty twelve" and "2012". How is this possible? In five years time will I have to write the date as 6 June 2012 (TM)?

As Monitorites love to debate pedantry, I thought I'd point out some lovely opportunities arising from the - the recipients are limited to five words for their speech.
