"Verbatim" comes from Latin though. And aren't you from... Latin America?

Yeah, Spanish is a Romance (Roman derived) language but the word verbatim seems do not make his way into Spanish, lots and lots of latin roots and words make in to Spanish, but some do not.

Was looking in to «Real Academia de la Lengua» the entity in charge of the study and rules for our language, and seems the only similar root what make into spanish was «verbālis.» which made most of the Spanish words referring to verbs. There are words like: Verbo, verebal, verbalmente, verbalización, all of them relative to verbs and speech.

Latin America refers to territories which uses languages from Romance languages (latin derivated) that includes: Spanish, Portuguese and french.

Also exist Hispano america, which are the territories with Spain influence (so Brazil is not included)

And there is AMERICA which is a great continent starting on «cabo de hornos - Argentina» and cover up to Alaska and canada, we all are part of America.

Nobody stores their MP3s on floppy disks. Whoever wrote this did not do enough research to know that CD-Rs were common place.

Why weren't floppy disks developed further? They just stopped at some point. Any other magnetic removable storage was niche. ZIP drives got some distribution but ultimately failed. Iomega Jaz and Rev failed even more.
Great idea was LS-120 with backwards compatibility to standard 3.5" HD floppies… but it didn't gain notable distribution (still searching for such a drive).

Hell, even the ED floppy disks/drives are next to inexistent (and a single one would store a standard song at 128KBit/s with special formatting).

Is this the joke, right? back in the day when I downloaded my first MP3 the only way you get near a CD-ROM was on a hi-tech lab, and took me 6 hours of phone dial-up connection to download the file.

Don't mp3s at a decent bitrate take up ~1MB/minute? The joke is that a flappy disk can store half a song. Quite droll.

You and me buddy. I even have a unoppened box of 24 of those on my storage.

And with my father we shared some 8" floppy disk, they was 360 BYTES (no KB) by side, but you must to manually change the side of the disk, the drive unit only have a read head on one side!!

What's this, a disk measuring contest
I didn't have all your fancy floppies, I had cassettes.

I had those on my ZX Spectrum for those who know what that is.
