I can recreate the conversation now: Sony Exec 1: So what do you think about the Compact Disk, I call it a CD. Sony Exec 2: Oh yea, "Compact" is very marketable, "CD" is very marketable, in fact, that acronym might become a new social norm. Sony Exec 3: But what about the "K"!? It's so... bleh. Sony Exec 1: Uhhh... maybe we should turn it into a "C" Sony Exec 2: That's genius, it works phonetically and it incorporates a "C" as in "CD". Sony Exec 3: Our genuis just made me splooge. Ken Kutaragi: Dont forget that it's FOURTH DEMINSIONAL!! |
rofl.
OT: I usually use "disc" but I allow people who use "disk" to keep on living....
Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it
