====== Terminology ======

It seems that quite a bit of electronics terminology, especially regarding communication, is a carry-over from radio days, which is in turn a carry-over from Morse code abbreviations.  See things like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_code]], [[https://morsecode.ninja/reference/]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosigns_for_Morse_code]], and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedure_word]] for reference.  This makes TX and RX make A BIT more sense, and I'm sure that I'll dig up other examples with time.

Also, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII|ASCII]] standards evolved out of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegraph_code|Telegraph codes]].

Randomly, Digikey search for common resistors:  [[https://punchout.digikey.com/en/products/filter/through-hole-resistors/53?s=N4IgjCBcoExaBjKAzAhgGwM4FMA0IB7KAbXADYBWAFgGYQBdfABwBcoQBlFgJwEsA7AOYgAvvjBl4IJJDRY8hEiBpgA7GACcABgbM2kTjwHCxIKpOjSUGHPiKRSGiat0hW7LnyGjxqqlJk5W0UHZRhKGjhGN31DLxN8AFoNAKgeAFcFe1IIelNEuEsZDKylCgZ8iCLreTslVRoADgqk8urZG1LQqJFTNtAmKDBmQcgwLS1TC1BeABN2GC1G8r12AFV%2BXhYAeWQAWWxUTHTubBB8AEcWAE92c5AbpjODI6ReoA]]
