Are you not around hardware that much? This is stuff people who work in tech deal with every day, it's too hard to keep track of the names of the three different ports that you use ubiquitously? When someone asks you what charging port you need, do you just say "big square one" or "the iphone one"? Do you then have to clarify "the old iphone one, not the new one"?

Also USB A is not even square, it's a rectangle


Point still stands. Maybe it’s 5 if we are being charitable. Do you also call skillets “flat pan thing I cook with”?


not being a native English speaker, I actually do this all the time


You mean frying pan?
