    Margie: Understood, though that is an unfortunate habit of
    misnaming. I suppose one could call orange juice "citric acid" too if
    one really wanted to since it is after all a solution that contains
    citric acid. So one imagines the following conversation: 

    Jeff: Pass the citric acid please.
    Nan: Clear and cloudy.
    Jeff: Cloudy?  What do you mean "cloudy"?
    Nan: It's always cloudy.
    Jeff: Really?  Since when?
    Nan: Since always.  You know, "pulp"?
    Jeff: You mean "powder"?
    Nan: Well sure, but I like the pulpy stuff better.
    Jeff: "Pulpy" pickle?  You're kidding right?
    Nan: No, no.  The juice.
    Jeff: Who said anything about juice?

    And so on. My take on this is that it's tough enough naming things
    properly so that we know what we're talking about without
    intentionally misnaming them. I suspect that I and the people you've
    worked with have to agree to disagree on this one. 

Cheers,
