    You would be incorrect. “Silencers” is not a brand name, SilencerCo is. Just like Kleens is not a brand name, Kleenex is. But cute try, at least.

      Ah, yes, technically it’s not a brand name like Kleenex, but it is a product name like aspirin.

      This is actually a really impressive amount of pedantry and condescension, and I’d read it again. No notes here.
