Like duct tape - my god, what is the world coming to
hey, at least they’re not calling it “duck tape”!
But, duck tape is the original name because It was made with a duck cloth backing. “Duct tape” didn’t come into use until the 1960s.
TIL ducks used to weave fabric.
Heh, you are correct
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_tape
Duck tape is perfectly correct, it was the original name given to the tape with it only being used for duct work much later on.
From The Wikipedia article:
It was originally used for making shoes stronger and was later used for sealing ammo tins.
Yeah, you can’t really take for granite these days that people spell that correctly.
I now, rite?
Suposably, errors like this happen because people are playing it by year. For all intensive purposes complaining about it is a mute point though - unless they are doing it over and over and for a pacific reason, e.g. because of oldtimers desase.
Stone cold, friend, stone cold
I don’t know much about english but I would go with duct tape from abduction.
I thinknit refers ventilation ducts originally, but yours definitely works too.
