Mine are "album" as in music albums. The words to define them should be "long plays". There is also a complete misuse as to what an "album/long play" is and that is that they are defined by their running time. Not how many songs are on them. Dr. Brian May of QUEEN defines "long plays" perfectly and distinguishes them well by explaining that "long plays" are longer than twenty minutes. "Extended Plays" for example are twenty minutes in running length or shorter. For example PRINCE has a studio long play entitled, "N.E.W.S." which is only four songs long but an hour in running length as each song I think if I recall correctly are fifteen minutes each.
The other word I think that is misused is, "economic" when the word, "financial" should be in its place. For example people talk about their own personal "financial" situations but will often use the word "economic" when they do not mean to. To be more clear "economic" reasons have to do with multiple industries and not single individuals where as people themselves have "financial" issues. Am I right? Am I right? Huh? Huh? :)
