Re: When did PCB tracks become 'traces'?
I really don't have a problem with all of this. Language, and common usage terms, moves on and always has done. I couldn't care a hoot whether traces/tracks schematics and so forth have entered the language - provided there is clarity.
Interestingly, the very clearest manuals were for Tektronix gear. And they just use the term "Diagram". The relevant section of the manual is titled "Diagrams and Circuit Board Illustrations". Not a circuit diagram or schematic to be seen.
