AMPERAGE, VOLTAGE, WATTAGE These words are entrenched in the informal language of science, but they are entirely unnecessary. We have perfectly good technical words for these measurable quantities: current, potential, and power. Physics textbooks set a good example when decribing current; the good ones hardly ever use "amperage". Then why do they persist in using "voltage" and "wattage"? This seems inconsistent, doesn't it? ---------------------- So, I guess we should not be using voltage or wattage either.
