hey, at least they’re not calling it “duck tape”!
Yeah, you can’t really take for granite these days that people spell that correctly.
I now, rite?
Suposably, errors like this happen because people are playing it by year. For all intensive purposes complaining about it is a mute point though - unless they are doing it over and over and for a pacific reason, e.g. because of oldtimers desase.
Stone cold, friend, stone cold
But, duck tape is the original name because It was made with a duck cloth backing. “Duct tape” didn’t come into use until the 1960s.
Heh, you are correct

TIL ducks used to weave fabric.
I don’t know much about english but I would go with duct tape from abduction.
I thinknit refers ventilation ducts originally, but yours definitely works too.
Duck tape is perfectly correct, it was the original name given to the tape with it only being used for duct work much later on.
From The Wikipedia article:
It was originally used for making shoes stronger and was later used for sealing ammo tins.
