Yeah, I do too...  LED PARs.... though they technically don't have
"parabolic aluminized reflectors" in them....   :)  A kid has yet to call
me on it, but it does bug me to call things incorrectly, and perpetuating
misuse....

I just wrote an "executive assistant" asking about her boss's needs for a
presentation next week, and in 5 sentences, used the word "lectern" three
times.  She seemed to understand what I was asking, as she responded to the
effect: "Yes, the standard setup is fine - podium, screen, small
table...."  (Maybe she thought *I* was using the wrong word.)
