Notes on Usage
- "Cắm thẻ" is a fixed historical term. In modern Vietnamese, the verb "cắm" is commonly used with technology (e.g., : to plug in a USB) or physical objects (e.g., : to arrange flowers), but "cắm thẻ" itself does not mean "to insert a card" like an ATM or credit card. The modern term for inserting a card into a reader is "cho thẻ vào" or "quẹt thẻ".
