^^^ I have a hard time getting my parents to understand what a tablet is

Me: "Amazon is coming out with a tablet soon"
Mom: "What's a tablet"
Me: "You know a flat computer thing like an ipad"
Mom: "Why didn't you just say an ipad then"
Me: "Because it's not an ipad, it's a tablet"
Dad: "What's he talking about?"
Mom: "Amazon is coming out with an ipad"

Yeah handycam is the only one I don't agree with.

I've never even heard someone refer to a handycam as a "handycam" conversationally, much less other brands.

ipod is probably the most recent. when i sold electronics, "moms" would ask for ipods and point to some other MP3 player in an ad or on the shelf.

So I'd have to ask for clarification- didn't want their kid getting something else if they specifically had to be in the in crowd at school

10/18/2011 8:27:06 AM

i don't know why, but it really bothers me when people refer to a random SUV as a "Jeep"... i don't own a jeep or anything so i don't know why it is a big deal, but it is dammit.

10/18/2011 8:29:03 AM

or what about "PC"

i remember back in the day they called PC's made by companies other than IBM as "PC Clones" or just "Clones"

Every year doing the EOCs:

Me: Students, you are not allowed to use any electronic devices after the exam. This means no mp3 players, no game systems, no computers, no tablets, and no cellphones.
