On tape. With Bob Woodward. Bob Woodward. You went, this is amazing, you went *on tape* with Bob Woodward. The Watergate guy. Just, this president. On TAPE. With BOB. WOODWARD. TAPE, for Chrissake’s.

Please stop saying there's a tape, it will be a digital audio file (but I'm sure someone could run off an analog copy onto a cassette so you can keep saying this.) Repeat after me: "Woodward has a audio file with Trump saying this." See, that wasn't hard.

Just tired of people saying stuff was on TAPE. Nobody records on tape any more than they put it on a Dictaphone cylinder. There is no tape. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictaphone

I just think “tape” is catchier than, you know. “Digitized audio recording.”

All recordings are digital now. You only even say "audio recording" to indicate you didn't record video. But I know some old words will still with us. People still call snippets of video "footage" even though there are not feed of anything to measure.

I mean, right. But it’s like calling a cola a “Coke,” or a tissue a “Kleenex.” It’s shorthand now. I’m all for language purity, but languages evolve. No stopping it.
