The National Council of Teachers of English

RSC and I originally saw a sticker for this group on the drive down to NYC.

"Har! Can you imagine? An English Teachers' group with TWO prepositions in their name! Can't they be the English Te...oh. That sounds like they might be teachers from England. "

"Yeah. Maybe teaching english? Hm. That doesn't identify the members as teachers. They could be the institutions."

"What about ESL Teachers Association?"

"Might go beyond that to regular English -- like grade school. Hm"

Turns out the darn teachers were snookered into an awkward group name by the inexactitude of the very language they teach.
