Is somebody getting some letters mixed up? Maybe even milddyslexia?

An ORCA (R first, then C) is a toothed cetacean withdistinctive black-and-white body markings.

OCRA (or more properly, OCR-A, but either way, C first,then R) is an optical character recognition font, withmore angular letterforms than the more natural-lookingOCR-B.

And just for the sake of completeness, OKRA, with a K, isa vegetable, commonly found in gumbo.
