I have repeatedly demonstrated generic usage both within the HVAC
industry and outside it. You seem to be the *only* one insisting on a
strict interpretation.

When I was in Thailand on an install I had the opportunity during some
slack time to visit some of the local ruins. My local contact said he
would get a "jeep" that we could take into the back country. I was quite
surprised when he rolled up in an old Landrover 88. Now, if I had had my
pee-pee whacked as badly by D.C. as you have had, I probably would have
taken umbrage at his characterization of an obvious knock-off as a
"jeep". Instead, I realized that the larger world can see things quit
differently than self proclaimed "insiders". It is not a matter of right
or wrong, simply the ability to observe reality, and that reality is
that in many parts of the world, a jeep is any four wheel drive utility
vehicle. BTW, one school of thought is that the term jeep was coined as
an alliteration of the Ford GPW designation. It was then applied
generically to any of the three Bantam derived 1/4 ton recon vehicles
produced for the war. It is odd that a slang term applied generically
could, after the fact, be copyrighted and used as a trade name, but
stranger things have happened.

Oh, went to pool-boy school too! I guess that really qualifies you to
talk about atmospheric science. <G>

Another classic Nateism: "Chlorine dissolves in sunlight"

Ok pool-boy, answer this: Why to you have to continuously add a PH up
buffer to a pool that is chlorinated with gaseous chlorine?








Answer: Chlorine added to pool: Cl2+H2O-> HCl+HOCl |
Sunlight+4(HOCl)-> 2(H20)+O2+Cl2
The some portion of the Chlorine gas evolved from the breakdown of
hypochlorus acid dissipates in the atmosphere. This leaves behind
hydrochloric acid which must be buffered. as an aside, notice that the
chlorine being blown away in spite of the fact that it is 2.5 times
denser than air and should "fall because it is heavier".
