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.
It is just a way for some people to mouth off.
And the thing is that even they are not using the absolute correct
nomenclature, as defined by the official MIL STD.
