    Yes. They had better be, for the price. "simano" doesn't exist, while
    "Campagnolo" is in Italy.

    Be more specific,

    Great for securely attaching a wheel to a frame in a steerable manner;
    lousy for serving salad at a wedding reception. Usefulness may vary
    between those extremes.

    Lexically, they have correspondence at the third character, and the
    second string is longer; both terminate with the same character.

    Oh, you meant "How does Shimano compare to Campagnolo?" Well, they're
    different companies with different philosophies. Campy apparently
    believes in changing things only where they can produce something that
    solves a problem and/or makes the product more attractive to the
    buyer. Shimano appears to think that changing things just to be
    different is an equally valid approach. Campy will use carbon fiber
    in places that Shimano won't (yet), and Campy will sell you the fiddly
    bits to fix your older setup while Shimano largely won't. Each of
    them has their adherents and their detractors; sometimes, these are
    the same people. To get more specific answers, it is necessary to ask
    about particular models of Shamano and Campy...and be prepared for an
    answer of "They're both good, but..."
