Exactly, when folks ask what "that capacitor" means the replies usually explain that it's the grid coupling capacitor, so why not call it that in the first place, there is sometimes another capacitor that can screw up the output transformer etc on a less frequent basis.....maybe that should be called the "that not so bad as that capacitor"

Proper terms are best, less chance of confusion, ditto with "smoothers" in my opinion.
