pet peeves?

[Barnaby W. Füi]

i was just thinking of one i have, its people that call photoshop "adobe"

"you have adobe?"

"i want to get adobe, but its so expensive"

DAMMIT adobe is a company not a farging product. its called PHOTOSHOP

... I here you... that is a pet peeve of mine also.

It is just another instance where brand recognition controlls the marketplace for that specific type of product.

Kinda like when people say "Can you xerox this paper for me?"... Ah.. No... Xerox is a brand of copy machine. Also people say "Can I have a kleenex?" ... Kleenex is a brand of tissue.

Another thing that I can't stand is when people say the score of a sporting event backwards... Like this

"The Lakers are winning 75 to 91" or "The Yankees are winning 4 to 7 in the 8th inning"

Well...if you think about it, adobe is rather expensive to buy, considering its a company and all
