Lux Tip: Turn Your Bathtub Into A Jacuzzi

Got a regular bathtub? We're sorry. How awful.

After a long day, you naturally want to relax in hot water that whirls around you, massaging and loosening your tired muscles, eventually lulling you into a sleep that will enable you to get up and do it all over again tomorrow...

So why not invest in a Conair Body Benefits Bath Jet, like the one here? Just under $40, not the arm and a leg it would cost to have a real jacuzzi put into your bathroom.

Then, get creative. Sprinkle some scented oil and potpourri in your tub, or just your favorite bath or shower gel or milk. The best way to make it feel truly lux? Turn out the lights and bathe by candlelight. Add gentle music. Forget the world.

It's just another easy way to make life more lux for cheap or free.

You need help with your homework. Jacuzzi is a proper name (the Jacuzzi Brothers marketed submersible hydrotherapy pumps in the 1940s), and a name brand, such as Xerox and Kleenex. You are incorrectly referring to a generic "whirlpool tub" by a brand name. Not every tissue is a Kleenex, and not every copier or act of copying is a Xerox or Xeroxing. If you really meant a Jacuzzi brand tub, then use it with the appropriate capital "J."

Take two Aspirin and calm down. Metonymic usage is not "incorrect," rather, it has been an enduring feature of most human languages throughout history.

Language evolves through usage, not through dictates based on ephemeral trademark law.
