'age: was voltage



Gang:
I guess I can acknowledge the usefulness of "voltage" as a
term for a physical quantity, BUT in an age where power
companies have "outages", freight cars have "tonages", and
city streets have "signage"; I have begun to wonder if
"voltage" is not accomodation with the enemies of our
language! WBN
