  • I do. I extend it beyond medicines as well. Corporations have spent lots of money for their brands to be household names. They don’t control my language.

    Specifically to medicine, I will note that the generic name actually carries information that the brand name does nothing for. Lisinopril and enalopril are the same medication class, act similar. Amlodipine, nimodipine, nicardipene are all the same class. Those generic names have important meaning.

    Oh, you want facial tissues? Why didn’t you ask?

    Sure, here’s some acetaminophen and ibuprofen.

    Don’t you mean bleach wipes?

    I get that, but counterpoint is that you don’t have to react and reply to each message IMMEDIATELY. The time stamps show that the messages all were within 3 minutes of the start. If this even happened at all.

    Maybe it’s because I’m old, but text messages don’t require an immediate reply. Take a breath and be patient.
