AHAHAHA, NO! it's because it was made on DUCK CLOTH!

"Duck tape" is recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary as having been in use since 1899 and "duct tape" (described as "perhaps an alteration of earlier duck tape") since 1965.

You FOOL you fell into my CLEVER PEDANTIC TRAP!

Oh, wow. I love this. You can correct people if they call it Duck Tape, and tell them it's duct tape. But you can also correct those annoying people who correct that!
