<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3065466, member: 84179&quot;]IMO, it’s important to use the correct terminology in these forums.&nbsp; Many of the questions come from people just getting started in the hobby.&nbsp; Using standard terms will avoid confusion and will also help people learn. I can understand why it may not seem like a big deal to use cud and die chip interchangeably, but cud describes a very specific type of die chip.&nbsp; When someone talks about a cud, I know exactly what they’re referencing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe it’s a little pedantic, but using the established terminology keeps everyone on the same page, whether it’s numismatics, automotive repair, engineering, or medicine. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to complain about the tone in which people get corrected, then that’s another story.&nbsp; Sometimes people are condescending and other times they just don’t have time to write out a long explanation.&nbsp; Remember, it’s an anonymous forum, so you’re going to need a thick skin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
