    That’s UK English vs. American English. I think American English might genericise (if that’s a word) trademarks more often than UK English, but hoover is one that the UK has that America doesn’t.

      I think another one is referring to cream cheese as Philadelphia.

      I’m American though so any Brit’s out there please correct me if I’m wrong.

        Funny enough Philadelphia can not be called a cream cheese in the EU

        In the US, we have this in menu items. Like “Philadelphia Roll” has cream cheese.
