While you claim not to own the words, you do fee free to "correct" those who use the terms differently that you would. I posted only to show that the terms are used loosely by many and folks needn't feel confined to narrow usage a long as they understood the concept, and that their meaning was clear by context.
Yes, the term was coined, reflecting the dish shape of wheels, but langiage evolves, and multiple uses are equally correct.
1. non-sequitor (earlier post)
It goes without saying that folks elsewhere in the world may have different terms for the same two concepts.
2. strawman
My purpose is not to dictate what terms people use - it's to make certain that folks understand there's TWO types - and that folks assisting others need to be careful to not CONFLATE the two.
If someone is asking, "When I'm truing up my wheel, what does it mean to dish the wheel?" The most helpful and straightforward response is to discuss that dishing related to centering the rim between the lock nuts of the hub.
I've been crystal clear on this in repeated threads...
...and of course, Sheldon Brown discusses both - and Tulio Campagnolo was crystal clear on what the purpose of his dishing tool was in the advertisement.
But then again - that's a non-sequitor on my part...
