Is it Captain or Commander Crunch?

Duct Tape. It's primary / initial intended use is to seal ducts.

What the heck is duck tape, never heard of
it. It says Duct Tape right on the product.
Who calls it duck tape, doesn't even make
sense.

BTW, is "extra" also a word in Spanish?

On a side note, it wasn't until Quaker was satisfied with the ad campaign, a series of 30 and 60 second animated commercials involving the Cap'ns victorious battles against the pirate John LeFoote, that they even began to develop the cereal.

Quaker, got me started. Looks like a Quaker. Though I've not studied the issue. Maybe his last names was Oats.

Can you see Duck Tape is described as "Duct Tape"?

But it says it's duct tape right on the label.
Where would the argument come from
when they both say duct tape.

It is like how nobody gets corrected if they ask for a Kleenex when really any facial tissue will do. Sometimes a brand name becomes the acceptable synonym for the type of product it is.

Regarding the Quaker Oats quaker, I thought quakers were supposed to have a beard and no moustache.

So there are people who think duct tape is
really duck tape? When it says right on the
label that duck tape IS duct tape? Nowhere
does it say it the other way around. How could
they possibly have a position for an argument.

On a facial tissue box it never says Kleenex, unless
it is Kleenex. No argument there either.

Is it:

1) Statute of limitations or Statue of limitations?

2) For all intents ad purposes or for all intensive purposes?

3) Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder or Obsessive/Compulsive disorder?

Spoiler answer:

1) StatuTe. It's not a "piece of sculpture of limitations," nor a "monument of limitations"

2) Intents. The other doesn't make sense. What is an "intensive purpose"?

3) There's no difference. You can also call it OCD.

Frustrated or flustrated? This one used
to drive me nuts.

You're thinking of Amish Mennonites. They're the ones with strict adherence to ritual. The beards, no electricity, plain clothes, priests and prayer.

Quakers are much more liberal. They use cars, have radios, have no priests as "every man is connected to God". A beard is not part of their culture as they need no ritual to be close to God.
