Carry over from this thread.

Because cogzinofa is a fucking moron. Is it Duct Tape or Duck Tape? I maintain that it's Duct Tape, Duck Tape is just a brand of Duct Tape.

I could give a flying shit about the origin of it... Is it Duct or Duck?

Though admittedly - I'm pretty sure I usually say duck as opposed to duct.

That is fine as long as you're aware of the difference.

if asked to spell it I would write it as such, when pronounced however the T is not usually emphasized such that it most likely sounds like duck tape

It's technically duct tape, but the brand has been around forever, so people call it duck tape. No one really pronounces the 't' in duct anyway.
