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 s*it going on in the world . . . you pick this to gripe about?

And quit saying "voltage."

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' !

That\'s because you\'re a pretentious ass.
You have no sense of humour.

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.
Classically, 4.54 henrys
I repeat. You have no sense of humour.
Graham
It depends. Are they close enough to have any magnetic coupling? If so, is it adding or subtracting from the total?

I have a fine sense of humor, it\'s just that _you\'re_ not funny.
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.
