    Whilst there are differences in language, their number and
    significance  pales, IMO, beside the constant and deliberate
    attempts to confuse the consumer in order to obscure the value (or
    more to the point worthlessness) of the product. I flipped the
    channels on the telly a couple of days ago and the Shopping Channel
    panderers were pimping "green amethyst (irradiated.)" Some people
    have no sense of shame!
