IEEE question

[Rakasha]

Hi, i am looking at the IEEE 399-1997 standard (brown book) chap13. I see in the table there (ex:13-6) Number of CKT, but nowhere it say what that mean. I checked in the IEEE standard but i didn't find anything. Can some1 help?

 

[dpc]

I don't have the book, but "ckt" = "circuit" I would assume.

 

[jghrist]

dpc is correct. I don't know how circuit got to be abbreviated with a "k" when there is no "k" in the word. It is a common abbreviation.

 

[wareagle]

Circuit = sirket

 

[mcgyvr]

years ago my old boss (from Romania) used to pronounce it as "sir-kweet". I had to ask another engineer what he meant. I thought it might be a technical term I hadn't learned about yet.

 

[dpc]

In Alabama, it was referred to as a waar.

 

[mcgyvr]

That's because Alabama has their own language. They sure don't speak English there.

 

[jghrist]

But a surcut cun have morn wun waar.

 

[dpc]

Scotty,Scotty,Scotty,
We speak perfectly good English over here. At least twelve different versions of it. These days even we don't recognize some of the gibberish being spouted by the wonderful people in the news and reporting it. Not to mention the wonderful influence of Hollywood, the alleged 'music industry' and Madison Avenue, (advertizing mecca in New York). We've certainly skewered the mother tongue in many very interesting if not always positive ways.
