-# The Acronym
-
-Hurd stands for "Hird of Unix Replacing Daemons."
-
-Hird stands for "Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth."
-
-
-# Origin
-
-[Quoting ](http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-hurd/2002-10/msg00099.html) Thomas Bushnell, BSG:
-
-The name "Hurd" was invented by me, as an alternate spelling for the English word "herd".
-"Hird" is just another alternate spelling for the same word. By the normal rules of
-English orthography, they all have the same pronunciations.
-
-
-# Spelling, Usage and Pronunication
-
-The Hurd has its share of linguistic debate. The subject of proper usage comes up quite often.
-
-We call our kernel replacement \`\`the Hurd.'' Although Thomas Bushnell, BSG states that the
-word \`\`Hurd'' is an acronym; we do not treat it as such, but rather as a concrete noun.
-It is widely regarded as incorrect to use the term \`\`HURD'' or \`\`H.U.R.D.'' So, to
-refer to the collection of servers running on top of the microkernel, we would say,
-\`\`I have upgraded to the latest version of the Hurd.'' Since the Hurd is part of
-the GNU Project, we also refer to it as \`\`GNU Hurd'' which is treated as a proper noun.
-
-The Hurd, in conjunction with Mach, forms the core of the GNU operating system.
-So, one can say \`\`I have installed GNU on my friend's new computer.'' The
-Debian Project clarifies this by using the name \`\`Debian GNU/Hurd'', because
-it also distributes the GNU/Linux variant of GNU.
-
-To pronounce the word \`\`Hurd,'' you should say the English word \`\`herd.'' This is pronounced as \`\`hɚd'' using the International Phonetic Alphabet.
-
-# In Other Contexts
-
-One contributor from Norway described two other uses of Hird.
-
-* "the kings men", a name given to the men accompanying the Norwegian kings at about 
-year 1000 and on.
-This was later coined by V. Quisling when he formed a party with
-nationalistic traits to denote a set of helpers promoting his agenda
-of national & Nordic ideas.
-
-* A symbol of collaboration with the (German) enemy used in World War II.
-
-Perhaps unrelated: the "herd mentality" of folks is what the Hurd project
-and the the GNU project in general is fighting against, and using the Hurd it is 
-very easy to do so, since even normal users without privileged can change things 
-deep inside the system - without restricting others in any way (see 
-[translators](http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-doc-translator)).
