this is not something to lose sleep over,
agree with Herb that we ought to keep working at getting students to
speak and write correctly.
Alas, it does not seem to be working. They neither get the electric
potential difference nor the voltage (and probably wouldn't get oomph
either); they just get the volts.
Aside from the fact that some students view this as algebraic
nonsense,
it also has the problem that it ought to be delta-V.
