-scotch o sellotape®?-
Nota d'uso
In inglese britannico il nastro adesivo viene chiamato “sellotape” (che è un marchio registrato) o “sticky tape”: Hai dello scotch?, have you got any sellotape? (non have you got any scotch?). La parola “scotch”, infatti, in Gran Bretagna viene associata soltanto al whisky. In inglese americano, invece, il nastro adesivo viene comunemente chiamato “Scotch tape”.
