I wish I didn't get irritated when people say they're going to do the hoovering, rather than the vacuuming, even if they don't own a Hoover vacuum cleaner - in fact I wish I could bring myself to say hoovering, so I could be like everyone else, but I can't. Am I alone? (Fully expecting to be - even I think I'm a pedantic weirdo on this.) I think I would still say vacuuming even if I had a Hoover. I don't say I'm just going to do the Bosching, even though I have a Bosch washing machine. But maybe I should start.
