Thank you for your comment, but I respectfully disagree....I could
really care less if someone used the correct terminology in describing
something, as long as I could understand what they were talking
about....in fact, I run into this situation alot - I never, ever,
correct the use of improper terminology (until the person is
finished)
Ignorance, be not proud.
Nobody interrupted your first post; that's the one of the beauties of
usenet. You get to have your say without interruption. Nobody tried
to correct your improper use of terminology until you were well
finished with your first post.
....I find it to be stifling of the other person and the point
they are trying to make.....thousands of times per day, people (in
industry) with only high school diplomas (or less) in industry make
absolutely brilliant observations and suggestions, but well over 80% of
these are ignored, poo-pooed or brushed-aside, by people with advanced
college degrees....many times, in part, due to the unsophisticated way
in which the ideas are expressed
And is it characteristic of these people that when somebody freely
offers to help them learn to express their ideas better, they react as
you have here? Strongly resisting and refusing to learn?
.....it definitely is frustrating
trying to understand what someone is saying when they use unfamilar or
unconventional terminology, but it really can pay off big to suffer
through it......
How much more might it pay off if the person using the unfamiliar
terminology learns the conventions?
And, it certainly hasn't paid off big here. The majority of your
postings have been argument about terminology, rather than attempts to
get your questions answered.
You came to this newsgroup seeking instruction in electronics, an area
where you apparently lack extensive training. Your question # 1 is
ill-posed, and when you were offered instruction, you resisted with
vociferous arrogance. There is a considerable body of knowledge about
electricity, with a standard terminology. Why should we who would
instruct you use your sui generis terminology rather than you use the
standard language? Part of answering such an ill-posed question is
teaching the proper way to ask, which the qroup was willing to do, but
you want to bite the hand that feeds you.
