Gable usage in house design ***usually** means a triangular piece at the
ends of a sloped roof.


Show me one instance where gable refers to anything else on a house,
Sparky.

Many refer to the "gable" in cabinets, also. *Only incorrect until the
masses use it in that context. Then it become correct, unfortunately.


It is not now, nor will it ever be correct. Side is the only word
that is necessary for the _side_ of a cabinet. The word gable
provides additional information that the word side does not, and that
information is not applicable, nor correct, for a cabinet side.

IFF the cabinet has a gable side, then, by all means, call it a gable.
