Tefillin, or as many call it, phylacteries, is the start of so many articles on Wikipedia
and everywhere on the internet.
They're like "tefillin" and then "phylacteries," it is insane.
Nobody calls it phylacteries.
You know where this phrase came from?
It came from the Greeks for "amulet."
"Phulakt-" something, "phulakterion" I think is "amulets" in Greek, and for some reason
people have extrapolated it to be like "Well, if that's the origin of the word," when the
Greeks incorrectly were like "Oh yeah, tefillin, they're just like Jewish amulets, right?
Let's use that all the time."
And then dictionaries have just been like "Yeah, phylacteries, phylacteries, let's just
say that."
Everyone thinks they're called phylacteries.
If you're using tefillin, you know that nobody has ever called them phylacteries.
But if you're looking online, you'll be like "Oh okay, well here's one name and here's
another equally good name."
Don't do that.
They're just called tefillin.

Stereo Walkthrough: Klipsch | H/K | Onkyo - Duration: 0:35.
As an audiophile on a budget, I chose Klipsch F-30 floorstanders and paired them to a
Harman/Kardon AVR 5 receiver from the '90s. It's pretty
beefy and can drive the speakers to 120 decibels. As a source I primarily use an
Onkyo DX-C390 CD changer. I like this system because it has excellent, clear
treble along with punchy bass reaching down to 35 Hertz, which is plenty for
music without a subwoofer. I love rolling my chair back to the center of the room
and listening to some progressive rock.
