Irrational things that annoy you (and non irrational things too come to think of it)

Sorry. /rationalising irrational things since 2010

Yeah, but even then it's a bit lame. If you really wanted to trademark the term "Ultra Light Back" and then found out that someone else had already registered those particular words, in that particular order, it's a bit poor to just take the last letter off. It'd be like trying to trademark "Internet Explore" or "Eye Fone".

And if they couldn't use their first choice, what's wrong with using a bit of imagination and using "Featherlight Back" or "Air Back" or "LiteBac" or something that still says "the backing used is very light indeed" without using the same words as someone else??
