Re: electricity



.....It is important to clarify better
what "electricity" means.

Ummm, well it would be better to understand that physics is not learned in
a dictionary and that "words" don't mean anything -- It is _people_ who
mean things. Words are only a mechanism of conveying thought
/meaning. Thus when a group of people agree that they will use some word
with some given meaning, the word is useful. Much of the time physicists
can do this, but, as is often demonstrated on this list, they can not.

The word "electricity" is largely without a precise usage -- It is likely
more useful that way.
