Can VHS Be Far Behind?
-
They often make a big deal when a word is added to the Oxford English dictionary. But what happens when they take the word out? That's the case with the words "cassette tape." Technically, it's only being removed from the abridged version, but that's the one that most people get to use. And I'm not sure why they would get rid of the words when future generations will actually need to look it up to figure out what cassette tapes were. But, yes, it is the end of an era. Again.
