<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 2382914, member: 1859&quot;]Herbert&#039;s terminology is a mess.&nbsp; Many &quot;major die breaks&quot; are trivial in size.&nbsp; He never defines, nor even mentions, what a &quot;minor die break&quot; would be.&nbsp; An adjective denoting size or severity should never be permanently attached to an error type, especially when there is no relationship between the commonly-understood meaning of that adjective and the actual size of the defect.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tiny die breaks that do not directly connect to the design rim are referred to as &quot;die chips&quot; while larger ones are called &quot;interior die breaks&quot; or &quot;internal die breaks&quot;. Naturally, Herbert has his own hopeless terminology for these deficits.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to replace the term &quot;cud&quot; with something more descriptive like &quot;marginal die break&quot;, &quot;peripheral die break&quot;, or &quot;corner die break&quot;, be my guest.&nbsp; I&#039;ll keep using cud, as its meaning is well-understood in the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
