All I've been seeing in this thread is how the NEC was originally
intended to keep stupid contractors from burning down houses.

I don't see how replacing two words that are spelled very differently
with two words that are spelled almost identically helps that cause.

Perhaps they could have made better choices, perhaps not.

Perhaps not!? * Really?

*I* don't have any trouble keeping the two terms straight. ;-)

Perhaps whoever came up with the traffic light made the better choice
between red-yellow-green and red-yellow-brown. *:-)

Considering that a small but significant fraction of males see both red and
green as brown, red-yellow-blue would have been a much better choice.

But the NEC does
very clearly and explicitly define the terms "Grounded conductor" and
"Grounding conductor" in Article 100.
