Shavian

Shavian is an alternate alphabet for English created by Ronald Kingsley Read, with 48 letters. Each letter has only one sound, compared to typical Latin-script English, which has one E sound in edit, another in curve, a third in lived, and so on. There are no known people who were taught Shavian English before Latin English.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not used by people who suck ass at spelling and retreat like a hermit to Shavian to claim dominance over knowing a script most do not. However, a small yet dedicated group of people use Shavian in their day-to-day and scoff every time they see something in Latin English.

My dear citizens, today we make English's official script Shavian.

CD-RW

What some people consider the holy grail of physical media, although BD-RE (Blu-Ray Rewritable) discs exist and hold up to 128 GB compared to CD-RW's 700 MB (0.7 GB for scale). Also, CD-RW was made after DVD came out (although DVD-RW didn't exist for a while afterward).

1: "Just got a CD-RW to hold all my photos."
2: "Just get a BD-RE. Same space, more storage."
3: "Physical media? Just. Use. Cloud storage."

Person 2: "All my videos from the 90s are on Video CDs, and none of my computers have a VCD drive..."
