I hope you're this pedantic when people ask for a Kleenex or a q-tip, or when they use Velcro

[–] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago (5 children)

They might be, depending on their region.
I only know what a q-tip is because I've seen americans say it online.
And while Kleenex is a brand over here, you'd get a slightly funny look if you asked for 'a kleenex' rather than 'a tissue'.

Velcro is definitely used here though, and so is googling, but variants of 'look it up' are more commonly used because it's more generic.

It's not "Velcro" you're using. That's a company. You can't use a company to hold stuff in place. You can use Velcro-brand hook- and loop-fastener.
