RE: fat clay and lean clay
I wish ASTM and others would abandon the terms "fat clay" and "lean clay," along with "elastic silt," because they don't make sense semantically. "Highly plastic," "high-plasticity," "low-plasticity," etc. are more meaningful, although I admit that those too are code words for "having a high plasticity index," etc.
