My old man pet peeve: the plural of “vinyl” is “vinyl.” They are “records” or “LPs” - not “vinyls”. Now get off of my LAN! ;)

Exactly like fishes.
I often listen to vinyls of my favorite band… The Divinyl.
They’re probably the same people that talk about “legos”.
“Can you pass me the bag of plastic blocks?”
Not
“Can you pass me the bag of Legos”
If you wanted a box of adhesive bandages. You’d say “Can you pass me the box of band-aids?” or a tissue, “Can you pass me a kleenex?”
Companies do not want their brand to become generic trademarks.
It’s not because Lego is already pural
“I have many Lego blocks”
Not
“I have many Lego”
Languages adapt to the people using them

Nah, I like raw-dogging mine
Delete this, or eventually it will develop into an ironic-then-quickly-unironic post-vaporwave genre that I’ll find out about via a YouTube video essay in a year’s time
MP3s that i bootlegged 20 years ago. Y’all kids are weird.
