You do realise it's pronounced 'ducT' tape?

@SW-User No: "Duck" is the brand, "duct" the general type - but using the former is easier to say and slightly more mellifluous!

Makes me wonder if Shur Tech Brands chose the avian name for that reason......

[There are similarly tongue-trapping, consonant meetings in Welsh, for those of us who don't speak the language but politely try pronouncing Welsh place-names correctly!]

@SW-User I don't live on either side of the pond. I'm across the North Sea, a puddle in comparison to the pond. :-)

@ArishMell Of course. Duck is the usual pronunciation in the US, and probably elsewhere unless the speaker is making a special effort. The two Ts together make for awkward speech.

@eyeno Does that work on politicians? If we sent a few hundred rolls to congress...
