Re: Don't call it a "Zoom meeting"

Nader is against genericising trade marks

I'll have to respectfully disagree, otherwise I won't be able to take any aspirin, hoover my carpets, or ride my jet ski.

OK, I don't have a jet ski, but I have a hoover made by Bosch and I have aspirin with a supermarket own brand. Using a brand name as a generic name doesn't strengthen the brand. If it did, companies wouldn't have lawyers trying to stop it.

So I'm going to carry on photoshopping things in Gimp, googling things on DuckDuckGo, and putting drinks in a thermos made by... I have no idea who. I'll also be using velcro on my hi-viz jacket that I bet isn't isn't Velcro, but it's hard to tell. I probably won't be using heroin, though.
