What am I missing?Â* Are they actually talking about the casing?Â* The
casing is not wire...

I believe the Non-Metallic (NM) means the sheathing is made of plastic,
not metal.
There are times when it's required to have metal-sheathed wire and times
when you can use Romex, non-metallic sheathed wire.

So that's the designation.Â* MC for metal clad, and NM for non-metallic.



Understood but it specifically says non metallic "wire". And I do not
ever recall Romex ever being called metallic or non metallic.

Probably another situation where those persons naming parts or
describing something have no idea what the meaning of words are.

Functionality, never needed to replace the word function. And for that
matter, "almost any word that has had "ality" added in the last 10~12 years.

Utilize, never needed to replace the word use.

And while I am on the soap box, When did the word button start being
pronounced but-in. Garden, now pronounced gar-din.

Classic example of school no longer teaching students how to read the
dictionary.

All future left voters.
