A star drive isn't a Phillips, at least not around here. The Torx head
is what people mean when they talk about star drive screws. I know
Robertson invented the square drive, but the name didn't stick like the
Phillips name did and it is descriptive. A 'plus' head screw for
Phillips would be more descriptive but is not likely to happen.

I've heard it called that before. At one time, though, I'm sure we've
all heard every variation on "Phillips" that there is. (And a few
unprintable ones about the "flat head." ;-))
