hey everbody
i made a new video. it's about how stereo sound works on vinyl records.
please provide me with positive reinforcement for holding back on chastising the youngins for continuing to call records "vinyls"
also please never ever do that you heathens
anyway, here's the linky-dink (i'm giving you, like, 10 minutes early access!)
@hunterking I'm becoming less prescriptivist as I age but this one MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE because "vinyl" is a /material/ and not all records are vinyl!
Besides just that, it's like calling a pair of jeans "a denim" or your computer a "personal"
I'm OK with saying "I have that on vinyl" but the thing itself is not a vinyl. It is a record, and I will unendingly grumble about this at least in my head.
@punster @TechConnectify @hunterking "rubber" could refer to either an "eraser" (US english term) or a condom (i forget if rubber is also used in US english, IIRC it is in UK english for a condom)
i am very bad at phrasing things
though people don't call a knife a "steel" unless they got a great deal (ha)
@spv @TechConnectify @hunterking it's the honing rod, not the knife itself, that people call "a steel". That leads to this kind of funny example of a "ceramic steel": https://www.chefsarmoury.com/products/chefs-armoury-10-black-ceramic-steel
There's also an iron, the clothing tool, which generally isn't even made of iron any more!
