Everyone knows them as Lewis and Clark. They're a package. If you know one you definitely know the other.

"Clark and Lewis" is not accepted... Not sure why the order "Lewis and Clark" became the standard.

I propose rephrasing "What online book seller was founded in Seattle in 1994?" as "What amorphous, monopolistic online retailer started out selling books for the sole purpose of surreptitiously mining the data of educated (i.e., affluent) consumers, in 1994?"
