Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

: I have an opposite understanding. I thought the DVD was originally designed as Digital Versatile Disc. However, the general public only knows its most popular use as Digital Video Disc and the name sticks. Same reason why the Americans call their mobile phones as cell phones even though cellular technology is only one of the many technologies in use. In the US, many uses of the English language does not make too much sense.
