People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

In the UK at least, 'to hoover' is now officially recognised as a verb referring to the act of using any vacuum cleaner, and 'a hoover' is a generic term for a vacuum cleaner. The company, Hoover, failed to protect its trademark and thus anyone can now refer to their vacuum cleaner product as 'a hoover'.
