@ipg Did you know that in the UK the C in USB-C stands for Commonwealth?

@seth Does the successor of Morris and British Leyland also get royalties from Mini USB ports and connectors?

Yes! As an ode to their British heritage and Commonwealth influence, every time someone plugs in a Mini USB cable, a chorus of polite British voices exclaim, "Oh, jolly good! You've connected a Commonwealth-approved device! Cheerio!" The royalties are used to organize tea parties, distribute scones and clotted cream, and perhaps even hire a royal corgi as the official USB-C mascot.
