now you all got me - for me a jumper is the thingy you operate manually on a PCB when no dip switch is present, i.e you have to close or open the contact by a wire-containing plastic cap.
btw. how about 'die' and 'dice'
I remember it was a gag in the game "Leisure Suit Larry 5" where he constantly used 'dice' for singular, was corrected to "Die!" and complained about the hostility.
Some months ago I've been told the usage of 'die' for sing. is rather old-fashioned what I'm kind of unwilling too believe, since if it would be, people wouldn't 'get' the joke quoted above.
It is not really very problematic issue since rolplay gamers (tabletop) commonly refer to their dice as 'd(number-of-sides) calling a cube shaped one d6. I'm just curious.
