Transistors

Can't see the problem personally, Plate/Anode etc....Who cares....We all know what's meant in context, surely.

You do, Lawrence, and so do I but it can be very confusing to a novice coming to this forum who is still struggling to grasp the basic fundamentals.

Other expressions are not universal. I'd never heard of a LOPTY until I started college, where it was widely used, but in the 9 years I worked in the retail trade and in a later job where I came into contact with TV engineers from a variety of companies spread over a large geographical area, I never heard that term used once!

As for PJs - you wear them in bed, don't you?
