    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_tape doesn't exist though! 😉

    Also Duck would not have been able to register "Duck Tape"
    if that was already in use as a generic term.

    However it seems so many are wrong that it is now "acceptable".

    Like "septagon" entering some dictionaries. DISGUSTING!
    If you were doing a repair job in your basement with a friend helping, and you
    asked him to hand you the duck tape, would he say, "Sorry, Wolfie, I don't know
    what you're talking about"?

    Wolfie has standards. He’s not some savage wandering the hills with a sheep skin loincloth.

    Depends which friend - one would laugh at me and say "It's ducT tape"

    If the point you are making is that people call it duck tape I agree ... but they are wrong (unless as we have established it is that brand)

    Lots of people call duct tape duck tape.
    Lots of people call heptagons septagons.
    Lots of people call hippopotamuses hippopotami.
    Lots of people call a die a dice.
    Lots of people confuse affect and effect.
    Lots of people confuse licence and license.

    Lots of people are wrong.

    OK ... fixed it for you!

    Nobody cares where sonshouse lives. He’s not been burgled,
    tied up with duck-tape® and sexually abused has he?

    Do you think all burglars fussy about particular brands of duct tape?
    Why is this bothering you ?

    Not bothered.
    Just a public service pointing out people's faux pas.

    Only in that it’s not actually a “faux pas“ which is in fact ‘an embarrassing or tactless act or remark in a social situation’. Nevertheless I am satisfied that my presence here sufficiently annoys you such that focusing on it brings some small measure of joy to your online existence.

    Both duck and duct are acceptable.
