Why, for God's sake, do so many people use the word "amperage" when there is a perfectly good word, "current", available? Similarly, "ohmage" for "resistance". I'll expect "faradage" for "capacitance" any day now.

Sure, but why do you care? The idea gets across. Not everyone speaks English.
With all the shit going on in the world . . . you pick this to gripe about?

ElectroMotive Force? Potential?

I was taught about PD and EMF at school...
Potential Difference or PD for short.

"Age" discrimination?
I love using the word Potential in documents. It makes them look so much more 'academic' !

Who does this? I've always used current, resistance and capacitance. Never heard the term 'omage'. Current is measured in amps, resistance is measured in ohms, and capacitance is measured in microfarads or picofarads. So what's the total inductance of 2 .27 henry inductors in series?

-- Funny _you_ should say that when it\'s _you_ that\'s being brought to task for your idiocy. You say you love to use the word "Potential" in documents because it makes them look so much more "Academic", which says that you want your "documents" to look academic whether they\'re right or not. You\'re just another fraud begging for acceptance.

It depends. Are they close enough to have any magnetic coupling? If so, is it adding or subtracting from the total?

and "voltage" for "electromotive force", "mileage" for "distance" ...

John, why are you wasting your time with this braying jackass? Just delete the crap in his post and change the subject line to "Eeyore is a troll" so you can move on to something worth reading.
