Neil deGrasse Tyson:
Why so many consumer products have a "Universal" formula ou "Universal" edition. How do they know that their products will work anywhere outside Earth? Why not settle for a "World" formula or "terrestrial" edition?

Dropping a level, what about American baseball's "World Series". That's gotta change too -- even thought it likely derives from the name of a sponsoring newspaper, the implication is still there that the best in the USA is automatically the best in the World.
