-This specification defines video events representing a dedicated post of externally hosted content. These video events are _addressable_ and delete-requestable per [NIP-09](09.md).
+This specification defines _video_ events representing a dedicated post of externally hosted content.
 
-Unlike a `kind 1` event with a video attached, Video Events are meant to contain all additional metadata concerning the subject media and to be surfaced in video-specific clients rather than general micro-blogging clients. The thought is for events of this kind to be referenced in a Netflix, YouTube, or TikTok like nostr client where the video itself is at the center of the experience.

 ## Video Events
 
-There are two types of video events represented by different kinds: horizontal and vertical video events. This is meant to allow clients to cater to each as the viewing experience for horizontal (landscape) videos is often different than that of vertical (portrait) videos (Stories, Reels, Shorts, etc).
+There are two types of video events represented by different kinds: _normal_ and _short_ video events. This is meant to allow clients to cater to each as the viewing experience for longer, mostly horizontal (landscape) videos is often different than that of short-form, mostly vertical (portrait), videos ("stories", "reels", "shorts" etc).
+
+Nothing except cavaliership and common sense prevents a _short_ video from being long, or a _normal_ video from being vertical, and that may or may not be justified, it's mostly a stylistic qualitative difference, not a question of actual raw size.
 
 #### Format
 
-The format uses an _addressable event_ kind `34235` for horizontal videos and `34236` for vertical videos.
+The format uses a _regular event_ kind `21` for _normal_ videos and `22` for _short_ videos.
 
 The `.content` of these events is a summary or description on the video content.
