Growing up, portable cassette players were always called "freestyles" here. I never knew it was a marketing thing, or that some other countries also objected to the naming.

this is "original research", which means i dicked around on the internet archive for half an hour. it may be wrong.

There are only 50,000 people there, if they had to hire someone to think of a better name it would have become unaffordable for the average greenlander.
