Back on topic. Right. DKWicked I know what you're talking about. Xerox machine is a good example because lots of people call them Xerox machines. Even when the copying machine isn't even made by Xerox. Great example. We don't call these people idiots though. I bet a lot of you don't even realize it. Another good example is "Kleenex" (I hope I spelled that correctly). Anyway, lots of people call tissues, "Kleenex". When in fact that's just the name of the company that makes tissues. Another example that I know a lot of you won't accept is Nintendo. Of course we don't call all consoles "Nintendo" because we're gamers and dammit we know better. We know a Sega Nomad when we see them. And we know they're not Gameboys. But usually parents, and grandparents or anyone that's old (I don't want to put an age because I might offend someone of that age and then get abusively replied to) would call any system a Nintendo. My mom all the time told me to turn my "Nintendo" off. Yup. And not once did I turn off my Playstation 2. I suppose she'll figure it out someday.
