Well, technically there is - I have a few installed in my systems at home. But those are referred to as adapters or adapter cards to allow USB devices to be plugged in. Yes, to your point, the gentleman at PA hearing misspoke as they are ubiquitously known as “USB Stick”. Again, technically, inside the ‘stick’ is indeed a ‘card’, i.e., a circuit board holding one or more memory chips. But that’s not what and how people think of these devices.
