M Mr. McDuck Oct 11, 2006 #4 Yeah, I definitely used google to make sure I was right after I posted. Would have left it if it was wrong, though. No sense in ruining it. I could be wrong though, I'm not 100% positive.

M Mr. McDuck Oct 12, 2006 #9 It's possible there is more than one way to say it. That happens with many a thing. Differentiation/Designation...both are probably correct.
