It's all Karma. Oly originally named their original bayonet mount SLR 
system the M System. If that had stuck, we would all be gourmands (Think 
mmmmmm), and the list would have lots of OT recipes, restaurant reviews, 
etc.*

However, the early switch to OM, as a result of Leica's complaint about 
the conflict with their M cameras, resulted in the OMmmmm system, 
generally conducive to a calmer, more relaxed and meditative user 
gestalt (hard G here) and "The Happy, Friendly List".  (Hee, hee)

*Those show up as it is, but relatively rarely. A lingering effect of 
the brief initial name for the system.
