USB stands for Universal Serial Bus.
Busses are public transportation and therefore un-American.
And to rub it in, they went on to create USB-C (the C stands for Communist).

To bring the whole thing back in one big circle you can buy a USB to serial RS-232 adapter....which allows you to connect to a serial port...from a "universal" serial bus.

I'm now seeing USB C variants lol.

Also I love your username.
