    vinyls

    FYI it’s called a “record”, or music could be “on vinyl”. They were never referred to as “vinyls”.

    Also VCRs were never called “VHS’s”

      Here in the UK they weren’t often referred to as a VCR, or even a VHS, to be honest. It was always “the video player”. Even if it was a recorder. At least that was my experience.
