You are right on with your observation. It is extremely frustrating
when "industry experts" in a technical industry use the wrong technical
terms.<br>
<br>
rant ON<br>
<br>
Another example; the improper use of "panel" when the intended meaning
is "module". Check 690.2 for the definitions. Just wait 'til ac
modules are a reality. <br>
<br>
"Hey, take a look at the ac panel, maybe that's the issue". <br>
<br>
"Oh, you mean the load center?" <br>
<br>
</font><font face="Verdana">"No, the panel".</font><br>
<font face="Verdana"> <br>
"Oh, you're talking about the ac module."<br>
<br>
"Yah, that's what I meant."<br>
<br>
"Why didn't you say so in the first place?"<br>
<br>
By the way, you can also take your car to a mechanic and he might say,
"Raise the hood. Let's take a look at the motor."<br>
<br>
To which you could reply, "I'm not having a problem with the heater,
air conditioner, or electric windows. The ENGINE is running rough,
though."<br>
<br>
rant OFF<br>
<br>
Phew. Do I ever feel better!<br>
