The Hard Drive Is Inside the Computer

davidmwilliams writes "Those of us who work in technology have a jargon all of our very own. We know the difference between CPUs and GPUs, between SSD and HD, let alone HD and SDTV! Yet, our users are flat out calling everything 'the hard drive.' Why is it so?" As much as I hate to admit it, this particular thing drives me nuts. You don't call the auto shop and tell them that your engine is broken when your radio breaks!

So some karmic kudos to you, sir. You deserve them

Karmic - english adjectivisation of sanskrit word. Kudos - ancient greek meaning praise or renown. It is not a plural.
