I think we need to write to Home Depot, Lowe's, Sears, and some other millions of people because they don't even know how to spell the word. They use the incorrect word disposer, can you believe it?

Interesting link, cmwilliams'.

"The US is also the home of In-Sink-Erator, the company that says it makes 80% of the world's units."

In-Sink-Erator website uses disposer throughout their official website.

http://www.insinkerator.com/disposers/index.shtml

So, the biggest disposer manufacturer in the world uses an INCORRECT word for its best selling product...
Peer comment(s):

neutral Lydia De Jorge : 'disposer' is incorrect!//The fact that it is on the Internet does not make it correct... also, there is no need to be so aggressive. I am within my right to disagree with you. Have a nice day!

Thank you, Williams. Unfortunately, some people think that if it is not mentioned in their dictionary, it is incorrect. Good link. - AV
