  Well, yes, but if The Internet Archive used the proper spelling they would have probably been sued.

  
  

  Hence, homophones.

  Where does the name come from?
  
  The Wayback Machine is named in reference to the famous Mr. Peabody's WABAC (pronounced way-back) machine from the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon show.

  imo, sufficiently nerdy
