This pisses me off so much I just have to share it to a community of block builders.

Its my biggest pet peeve ever. I CANNOT STAND IT. I hate it when people call something something, but its real name is something else. For example, My mom calls her MP3 player an iPod. And I cant stand it. I always yell at her saying "ITS AN MP3 NOT AN IPOD! GET IT RIGHT!"

Gah I just cant stand it for some reason >_<

Discunt.

I also hate that, like when people call a LCD a Plasam T.V or a Big Screened T.V a Flat Screen....

You mean like when people call things by over used brand names that they have become the staple name? Like every hygienic tissue is called a Kleenex? Or sticky backed bandages are called Band-Aids?

Thank you Sampapa, I do too.

What toadzard said, the biggest one is every tissue is called kleenex.

I always like throwing those cheap plastic saucer-shaped disks around the park.
