| 1154361 | 2010-11-18 20:42:00 | It's one thing when users call the PC a "modem" or "hard drive" but ^%$#@^&^ I've heard 3 of the staff here on the helpdesk do it now. Hassled one and she said it's easier for the user. Real glad I won't be here next week. |

| 1154362 | 2010-11-18 21:20:00 | Yeah - It makes my blood boil when ordinary folks say it but you'd expect "professionals" to have a bit of self respect! :yuck: How's anybody expected to learn unless the experts put you right? | tuiruru (12277) | ||

| 1154365 | 2010-11-18 22:58:00 | Whats worse some people call routers modems. Even worsere my grandmother called vacuum cleaner Hoovers. Even a verb Hoover the house. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 1154366 | 2010-11-18 23:01:00 | They call PC's CPU. Yeah and modem and routers. But .. Is a household router really a switch? And is a modem a router? I mean a router connects to a diff network or is that a Gateway? And should a monitor be a VDU instead? :D |

| 1154367 | 2010-11-18 23:17:00 | i HATE it when people call the PC box a HARD DRIVE. It makes me want to kill them! Even worse, a few years ago on Outrageous Fortune, a PC box was called a HARD DRIVE. It pissed me off. |
