    (The Reading company was named after the Pennsylvania city, and so is pronounced to include the past tense of what you do with words on a page, not the present tense).

      @[email protected] Exactly the same as Reading, Berkshire, so I suppose it is just copied. The etymology of the original name is a tribe name, Readingas, meaning in Old Saxon “the people of the Red [one]”.
