about it? Maybe it would be more accurate to use terms like steady voltage and alternating voltage? Alternating doesn't seem like that good a term
In German it's exactly like you suggest it. We say "Gleichspannung" (= constant/steady voltage) and "Wechselspannung" (=alternating voltage)
I also hate the English/American expression "inverter" for voltage converters, because really nothing is being inverted in any way.
But hey, they still have inches and feet and ounzes (be they fluid or solid) and gallons, so what can I expect? ;-))))
