Well, Chris, I can't help that. :-)

That's why I try very hard to stick to the terminology defined by ISO. 
Rather than people having to guess what I mean when I use a term, they 
have the op****tunity to look it up in the Standard.

Of course, not all terms are defined therein, and even when they are I 
don't suppose I always get them right. One does the best one can.
