4. Taser
When thinking about their own protection while walking down the streets many have considered getting a Taser to protect themselves. While the name is now being used for most electroshock weapons in the world, this isn’t actually correct. Taser is a trademark and you probably shouldn’t use it as a verb or to refer to products from other companies. Alas, this has become entirely too common for things to change.
