It's just really hard to spell Arco the right way.
I used to have trouble with this before studying the word to make sure I was pronouncing it correctly:

The syllables are:
1. Ar - pronounced 'R'
2. cos - pronounced just as spelled, like cost but without the 't'
3. ce - pronounced as 'uh'? maybe, not sure on this one
4. phale - pronounced 'fail', the odd English rule where ph is pronounced as an f

Although, I had to go look the spelling up before posting this to make sure I got it right...

Oh well, it made a good story anyway.
