Nice strawman, BUT, if you do the search you talk of, the fraction of
number of main-line historical hits compared to the nutball neo-nazi
hits is probably over 100:1. Not the same at all.

And stupid ****s like you refuse to look beyond the cartoon version of
their service manual _Refrigeration_for_Dummys_. I am not disagreeing
that Freon is a registered trademark of DuPont. I *am* saying that their
branding was too good and for the majority of the population, including
the examples I provided of more than a score of engineering firms, Freon
is a generic term. It's not a matter of what is "Proper", simply a
reflection of what *is*.

I have never claimed expertise, I simply demonstrated the fundamental
error in your statement that the word Freon is NEVER used as a generic
term for CFCs/a Class of Refrigerants/a chemical compound.

Ok then, I am still waiting to see these puddles of freon of yours!
