The terms Generic and Genetic are frequently accidently interchanged.
However, other words can be as well.
A friend recently made a statement to a group of us at our morning YMCA round table, "I have a family Genital defect."
I think all sitting around the table quickly got prepared for what was to follow.
He went on to explain, "I have very little flexibility in my ankle joint, like a lot of my other family members."
Phew! Genetic, not genital.
We all laughed and were glad to have avoided a case of too much information so early in the morning!
