Come, come, there is a big difference between what people call things in a letter, or in conversation, and what the law calls things. For that matter, there is a difference between what I call things in polite company, and what I call things amoung close friends. Life is not lived without distinctions.

Chuck, I’m a mathematician and an engineer; maybe I’ve got different expectations. But when you tell me that we’re talking about something that’s legally very much the same or identical, performing the same function, albeit for another group, and we agree that there’s no reason not to call them the same name informally, I’m getting pretty confused about what distinction John’s trying to preserve.
