Phil Maybe, maybe not. It's a slippery slope. You slide too far and you end up with the likes of "ebonics". That said there are now additions for supersonic to mean above the range of human hearing and subsonic to mean below the range of human hearing in most dictionaries, thought that wasn't previously the case. Pedantic, sure, but the those words were technically incorrect in the give context not so long ago. I figured someone as skilled as you in electronics would appreciate that. I believe we had a similar discussion a while back about "watts rms" which is also technically not correct though it's widely accepted as technical jargon now. I don't see the harm in pointing out the differences in origination of the terms and what is technically more correct than the other. Technically by today's dictionary standards your terminology is acceptable, right or wrong. What's your take on polarity invert switches being called "phase" invert switches - a very common console labeling for a switch that doesn't have any affect on the time domain that a phase label would imply.
