Dwight your #18 Post was written while I was writing #19.
If you can change convention I'm all for it. I am not resistant to change. Have seen it many times, in about all areas, in my life.
However, in 27 years Jan Still's laudable attempt to do it with "1920" and "1923" Commercials has only created confusion. Please don't get me wrong, I said "laudable attempt". Had it worked I'd be happy to accept it. His terms are practically never used outside the two Forums and quite often not even in the Forums. When they are used they are followed with an explanation in order to be understood. Excess verbiage. This has nothing to do with me or my opinions, it's only my observations and experience.
Dwight, I think there are just too many inconsistencies in Luger designations to change them in one lifetime. I really don't know why anyone ( read that as self proclaimed arbiter) would even want to try since, due to convention, nothing is broken. I see it as "tilting at windmills".
