Set one:

"Where's your DVD player, I brought some DVDs with me."

"My CD player scratched my new CD!"

"I just found a box of old records, but I threw away my record player!"



Set two:

"Where's your gleegsnog, I brought some DVDs with me."

"My blamtookle scratched my new CD!"

"I just found a box of old records, but I threw away my zlaxtope!"
Set two is more fun
Set one has a lot of repetition, not very graceful.

And of course, you watch movies and news on your television, not on your movie player, news player, or whatever.
You bake cakes in the oven, not the cake baker.
You write your notes with a pen, not a note writer.
