Asprin was once THE brand name for Beyer Asprin. A lot of these seem to be a national or even a regional thing. I too try to avoid generic names but when it is in common use it's hard to avoid sometime. Someone needs to start website about the misuse of 's' ! LOL As in anyway vs. anyways. It's enough to make me go 'postal' !!!! Norman, Oklahoma, USA Oh, that reminds me. I really hate the use of 'American' as someone from the USA. What about ALL the other countries in the AMERICAS????
