By that measure pretty much every product except the most generic crap is unique, but that word means more than just "slightly different".

- CydeWeys 8y agoYes, exactly, that's how the word is commonly used, especially in advertising/the marketplace. Just because you'd prefer others be more stringent with it doesn't mean that everyone else is lying.
- raquo 8y agoAlternatively, sleazy marketing is in no position to define the meaning of words, even if that's most of marketing. A cable package or car loan does not magically become a GREAT DEAL just because a billboard said so. We're just used to constant lies and aggrandizement in advertising, so all that bullshit looks normal, entirely expected now. It's still bullshit though.
