Re: When did PCB tracks become 'traces'?
As I said above, my career was in Aerospace, at BAC/BAe/BAE Systems Warton, starting on Tornado (or MRCA as it was then), ending on Nimrod MRA4 and then Unmanned Aircraft, via FBW Jaguar, EAP, REVISE and Eurofighter/Typhoon.
In conversation every system onboard any of the aircraft was nearly always referred to by its acronym, often pronounced as a word rather than a string of letters, and similarly every unit within each system.
It wasn't a problem other than the initial (pun?) few days starting there back in 1974!
