Laptop Luminosity Enhancer

Step 13Concluding Remarks

Duck tape is spelled that way. If you don't believe me, you can look it up online. Out of Oxford English Dictionary:

duct tape (perh. an alteration of earlier duck tape s.v. DUCK n.3) orig. N. Amer., a strong cloth-backed waterproof adhesive tape, originally used for sealing joints in heating and ventilation ducts, and (later) for holding electrical cables securely in place, now in widespread general use esp. to repair, secure, or connect a range of appliances, fixtures, and equipment; cf. gaffer tape s.v. GAFFER n.

I've been spelling it that way since I've been using it to secure my own diapers. So for all you suckas out there, beleedat!
Enjoy your new luminosity-enhanced laptops and tell me how it goes!

When it was first invented it WAS called DUCK TAPE then. It was used by the military and it was in forest green (now called army green) and shades of brown and grey. then duct tape company made it silver grey and used to cover spaces in air duct.

And Now We Have Every Possible Color. I Have Clear.

ah, 2008. I was so naive then. roughest years of puberty, that.

I really don't care what people call it anymore. duck tape, duct tape.... really, if I called a pen a frindle half the people around me would know what I meant due to the popularity of a certain book at my elementary school all about redefining the ehglish language. but that's not the point, it's merely a tangent. the point is that, unless you really have no grasp on the english language or grammar (I mean that in regards to people who really should have a grasp on the language, ie perfectly competent americans who don't know the difference between your and you're - I don't expect everyone to know my language), I don't care what you call duct tape.

I've actually used real "Duct" tape (the kind with nylon fibers and permanent adhesive) and it's ridiculously strong. I've used it to hold motors onto a makeshift scooter I made once.
