speaking of obscure language questions...
As my sons were growing up, we wondered what happened to Frigerators.
We knew about re-frigerators, but where were the originals?
A big landfill somewhere?
When the milk gets warm and you put it back in the refrigerator, whats
happening?
You replacing the original frigeration it had before breakfast?
And Be'Jesus.
If you can scare the Be'Jesus out of somebody, where does it go?
How is it replenished?
How do you know if you have enough?

I know that there are quite a few language and grammar geeks among PDMLers.
That's why I thought I'd share this linguistic question that
got me puzzled.
I see that almost everybody who is talking about Circular Polarizers uses an
abbreviation "CPL", either as a noun or adjective (e.g. CPL filter). The
curious part is that none of the online photography articles and reviews
that talks about "CPL" bothers to deabbreviate it.
(Just as a reference, all scientific journals where I've published my
articles require to define any abbreviation before using it for the first
time, even for those that are common in the field.)
So, my question is "What does the `L' in CPL stand for?"
I have 3 versions of what it might be (or what photographers who use that
abbreviation might mean), including a standard one that is typically used in
optical methods in physics, chemistry and related areas of science. None of
those 3 would be strictly speaking correct.
So, I am suspecting that I might be missing something more obvious.
So, what does the `L' in CPL stand for?
Thank you,
