Why brand, not make? #1 (permalink) Sun Aug 29, 2004 11:32 am   Why brand, not make?
 

Dear Alan,

Why is it not possible to use a word 'make' when we speak about tea?

Regards,
Elena

Test No. errors/inter-6 "The worse it will be", question 6

I can see from all those teapots that you must like drinking tea. What is the name of the mark you use?

(a) from
(b) must
(c) drinking
(d) mark

Test No. errors/inter-6 "The worse it will be", answer 6

I can see from all those teapots that you must like drinking tea. What is the name of the brand you use?

Correct entry: brand
The error was: (d) mark

You have found the error but your entry is incorrect.

Make brand #2 (permalink) Mon Aug 30, 2004 8:37 am   Make brand
 

Hi,

Thanks for your question. 'Make' is usually used for something that is manufactured as for example a car or a washing machine. 'Brand' is very often associated with food and drink.

Alan

Not 'trademark'-- that is just the name of the little logo on the package, not the brand of product.
