we often refer photocopy as xerox..
in college we used to say "am going to take xerox".
its the common mistake by most of us ..but the original word was photocopy-which in the sense,we are photographically transferring the image..but most people don use the word photocopy..wanna check..go to shop and ask them,"i need to take photocopy" ..they will see u differently..
even though photocopy is the correct word you cant mention it..
"be a roman, whenever in rome" i think this proverb represents that... doing even the wrong things in group..
also some of the similar mistakes are calling vanaspathi(saturated vegetable oil) as dalda since dalda is a brand name...but this is also a common practice..
when i was young i found most of the people callin mosquito coil as goodnight..they used to ask "good night" in shops..but the main thing is they will buy whatever brand they get..
those thing not only shows the misunderstanding of names, it shows the reach of that particular brand..
anyway what the use of changin..names are used to represent..so dont try to be distinct in this kind of activities..use the name that everyone knows...
"BE INDIAN,WHENEVER -IN OR OUTSIDE INDIA"
