No worries, it's an odd word. In case you're interested, the inventor, Jack Cover, named his weapon after something found in a classic science fiction novel where the titular character, Thomas A. Swift, carried an Electronic Rifle. Then T.A.S.E.R. became taser; meanwhile, Tazer (with a "z") is a brand name type of taser gun.
