The funniest example I saw of that was in the Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC)
magazine 'The Canadian Amateur' (TCA). One article was the pedantic discussion
of shell sizes vs. pin counts and hence DB-9 should be a DE-9, the other
article was with a schematic showing a DB-9.
I was amused.

I'm just saying that in its Heyday, if you
had to distinguish a 5-level
TTY from a 7-level TTY, the working terms were Baudot and ASCII. Although
technically incorrect.
Kind of like the DB-25/DB-9 discussion that comes up here occasionally.
Yes, technically DB-9 is not the right term and it should be DE-9.
But if you say DE-9, noone except for pedants knows WTF you are
talking about.
