No, if the direction of charge flow alternates between two states,

That fits my definition, but not yours! Are you changing your definition
or is that just a momentary bit of logical thought?

Try not to be a stupid ****. Flames will get you nothing back but more

Oh, my. And you said what about Emily Post.

---
I said nothing about Emily Post. What I alluded to was that you have
bad manners and could use a little training in etiquette.

Nothing I said was a flame. And I'd suggest you go practice (a *lot*)
before you try me on for a flame war. Especially if you think *that*
is a flame.

Oh, my! She says one thing, then does another and pulls herself up to

what your mommy taught you about playing with fire.

I'm starting to think you're having a real problem with reading
comprehension.

Apparently I read a lot better than you write.

More unsubstantiated twaddle.

I write that for the current in a load to alternate,

You write a lot of things that are not valid.

---
Just because you can't understand them doesn't mean they're not valid.
---

Don't you understand that an alternation in polarity means that the
polarity changed???

Do you understand that is not significant?

---
It most certainly _is_, since it's what determines the difference
between fluctuating direct current and true alternating current.
---

The reactance of circuit
components, the fundamental significance of AC circuit analysis, does
not depend upon polarity alternation in any way. What else is there
to talk about? How many chocolate drops should be in each chocolate
chip cookie? I await your essay on *something* of significance.

---
Well, since you consider matters of significance to be what you can
understand and what pleases your ego, it's not likely that your wait
will bear fruit.
---

But please, that is the *end* of discussion on your confusion about
AC.

I see. You've come to the end of your rope and your exit strategy is
to make it seem like everyone is wrong but you.
