I personally hate it when people refer to my Sony as a kindle or any other tablet as an iPad. But then I hate it when people say they are on the computer or on the internet when they are obviously on a chair using the computer or accessing the internet and I really hate it when people use the word gift as a verb.
Very curmudgeonly of me so I generally keep it to myself
