Colin, pronounced co-lan

As in the 4 star general Co-Lan Powell ? I wonder how he feels about his name being another name for Pollock ?

This is a confusing story.

So what the French refer to as 'colin' is a different fish? So why are we using it?

Isn't that also kind of false advertising?

Pollock is nice though. Buy some, but not while its called colin, so they dont get the wrong idea.
