Why can't people just say ebay instead of "e-place" and walmart
instead of W**mart and other ridiculous cryptic euphemisms like that?

Snipped from thread < as I have them on "that E-place" also.>

Is it a superstition? Is there something about the Vanagon list that
precludes the use of registered tradenames in common discussion that I
don't know about?

This has all gotten very Victorian lately.
