Do you also refuse to call music albums "albums"? The etymology is the exact same thing. Terms stick as formats change, that's the English language as it is used and it's not new or wrong.
- jjgreen 2y agoUgh, "albums" are Genesis, Yes or other dreary AoR; the cool kids listen(ed) to LPs ...
- hitpointdrew 2y ago>The etymology is the exact same thing. Terms stick as formats change What etymology? In the overhead projector days they were called transparencies (not cards), and you would have said "a stack of transparencies", not a deck. Deck is a new made-up business jargon.
- Latty 2y agoNaming things by analogy. "This wallet of records is similar to a photo album." is no different to "These slides are similar to a deck of cards." All words are made-up. You can not like the word if you don't like it, but pretending it's somehow wrong is absurd and just you trying to claim some kind of authority for your opinion.
