Maybe not top 10, but it certainly comes up on a regular basis.

And yes, I imagine it will be a good few years before ulipristal makes it across the pond.

Emergency contraception is a wonderful thing. Though I have no interest in trying to legislate or otherwise impose my opinion on other women, I don't think that I, personally, could walk into a doctor's office and have a fetus aborted. But keeping a 24-hour-old blastula from implanting in the endometrium? Hand over the pill, Doc.

As far as genericized trademarks go, yeah, that got me into trouble a few times early in the job with AQA (now called 63336)-- because they weren't even the *right* genericized trademarks! Boss: "What's an Ace bandage?" Me: "... er..."

Band-Aid: adhesive bandage (UK: sticking plaster)

Bactine: I was wrong about this one; I thought it was bacitracin, but it's lidocaine and Benzalkonium chloride. So... topical anesthetic, I guess?

Ace bandage: elastic bandage. Learned *that* one the hard way. ;-)
