My daughter was suppose to have her exam today, but on our way to her school, she vomited. She has a fever last night but even though, we did plan to bring her in school because it is exam day. Well, they are currently at the doctors clinic now to have her check.

On my way to the office I have read a banner on one of the Salons here in Iloilo. It states “Kyocera Copier” then a tag line of “clear Xerox copy here.” I know Xerox is a brand of a copier, but majority of the people here in the Philippines calls “Photocopying” as “Xerox” just as sometimes people would call “Toothpaste” as “Colgate.”

Anyway, during college we often need to photocopy something. I use the word “photocopy” even majority would use “xerox.” It is just funny hearing some people saying this. SAMPLE: “Could I buy a close-up colgate.” - Two brands has been mentioned

What are your experiences about this weird naming thing?
