atw: Re: What do you call it???

Interestingly enough, I wouldn't. I'ld say "Remove the shade and replace the

'Globe' refers to a spherical or oblate object. These days, many light bulbs 
are 
anything but spherical or oblate.
Go easy on the American stereotype - I've known many Americans who speak 
just as badly as Australians.
