As probably some have noticed I always have a gripe against posts where either the wrong name has been applied to a certain component or worse, the definition has been changed, both mainly due to those making their own assumption rather than being aware of the proper terminology or origin of the term.
This of course one of the down sides of dispensation of knowledge through the internet, many times I have come across someone who has put up a web site with a list of what they consider correct definitions and terms, and any beginner in the subject of course, takes this as gospel and the myth is perpetuated. :violin:
