    Silver is also a color.  I compare it to the use of the term
    standard as compared to metric measurements.  How many places on
    earth do they use the metric system as compared to the "standard"
    system?  I consider the metric system as the standard but hey, it has
    been defined that for as long as I can remember.  I will have to
    admit that under 15 centimeters I tend to use the metric system but
    over 6 inches, I use standard measurments.  Weird? 

    You could call it German silver if you really wanted to stir things
    up because it is another name for the same thing.
