You can't really trademark a common word.
Or rather I should say - you can't really enforce the trademark on a common word in cases like this.

you can't trademark an acronym either..
although AOL has been successful in nabbing a bunch of domains, including the freeze of aol.org (first off it's .ORG, second off it was regged even before aol.COM, third off it's an acronym, many other reasons why this was just stupid bullshit..)
needless to say the guy who had it probably gave up fighting and now some wacko has it, i don't know why or how.
