Proprietary eponyms are widespread. Once it has happened, is has happened.
Jet ski seems to have become another proprietary eponym.
In this manner, a Seadoo or Waverunner is also a jet ski

The term is often used generically to refer to any type of personal watercraft used mainly for recreation, and it is also used as a verb to describe the use of any type of PWC.Leave a comment:

Almost all of these are WaveRunners, not Jet Ski's.
It still blows my mind that to this day the average person is so content with mediocre inaccuracy.
Only Kawasaki's are jetskis. Why a Yamaha or BRP owner would call their PWC a JetSki is mind blowing.
This is exactly like an owner of a Viper or a Hurracan calling their car a Corvette.
It's time the industry and all within stop with this clown show. People, STOP calling ALL pwc's Jetskis!!!Leave a comment:
