Bus and Buss
Bus and Buss
(OP)
Okay, it's electrical/electronic terminology.
I subscribe to the "Bus" is a bit of technology for power or signal distribution. "Buss" is the brand name of a fuse.
Of late, it seems that the line is blurring and in some on-line resources, the two terms are interchangeable.
What say you?

RE: Bus and Buss
bus means something specific (like a electrical power connection, eg bus-bar).
Buss (as you say, 'cause i haven't heard of it) means something else, quite different.
don't know why people would add an extra s to bus, unless they're trying to say something like a fuseable bus ?
RE: Bus and Buss
Buss (adj): modifies the noun fuse to indicate the manufacturer.
Buss (v): the act of pressing one' lips against another's lips.

RE: Bus and Buss
Don't think so - I believe it's plural already (a contraction of "omnibus" - to, for, by, with or from all things or all people)

RE: Bus and Buss
I suspect that such is the case, but the grammar Nazi in me has its feathers ruffled every time I see 'buss' instead of 'bus', especially when it appears in the documents written by supposedly educated co-workers.

RE: Bus and Buss
Yes, I've seen examples in the places you cite. Just because it's common doesn't mean it's right.

I'm now taken back to high school, when I'd sing that to my girlfriend, who would respond, predictably enough

RE: Bus and Buss
I can state that before the spell-checker police came into being, I probably mis-spelled the plural form of buses many times and still try to, raising the hackles of the spell checker repeatedly.
The only thing I know about the other type of bus is that as a young turbine service engineer in the days before LOTO, we were trained to go throw (or make a real sounding threat to throw) a chain across the bus before starting to open the turbine. The look in a plant maintenance supt's face when the threat was made was usually the answer being sought as to whether it had been de-energized or not (especially when holding a chain in one's hand.) Oh, for the good old days....
