Yeah, “video” was common, but “VHS” wasn’t. Maybe kids who developed language as the format was expiring in the early-mid 90s didn’t have lots of examples and just thought the letters printed on the tape were a noun.

When they were widely used, people called cassette tapes “tapes” (common) or “cassettes” (less common). I don’t recall anyone calling a VHS videotape or VCR “a VHS”.
Similarly, I have seen people recently say “a vinyl”, which wasn’t ever the way it was said. (it would be music “on vinyl” or “a record”).
Do you mean a VCR? Or A “VHS tape”?

In what world is the Wall Street Journal “liberal media”? The same WSJ owned/run by Rupert Murdoch and his son? Or is there another one?

They want spammers. I got suspended permanently sitewide for “report button abuse” because I reported spammers (onlyfans “creators”, nonstop self-promoters, and repost bots) too much. Last straw for them seemed to be me reporting a half a dozen Vice self-promotes in a day on /r/politics.
