Arpad,
I seem to remember about 30 years ago when I spelled the word as bus and =
an "ancient" engineer, the guy must have been 40, pointed out to me that =
"buss" is only correct when you are describing a fuse company.
According to my electronics dictionary, the correct spelling has always =
been bus, as its usage was derived from the vehicle that carried a =
number of individuals grouped together, hence the name.=20

I am surprised that no one asked the question what is
the correct spelling for the single signal bus?
Is it "bus" or "buss"? If I remember correctly, I
have seen it both ways...
And as a non English native, I could add a lot of oddities
that have been bothering me as I was (am) learning the language.
For example, an SI related word "differential" vs. "difference",
why is one spelled with a "t" the other with a "c"? Can any one
explain?

Hi all,
This is certainly a "less-than-challenging" pair of questions for our =
=3D
list,=3D20
but I know many of you can answer anything!
1. If a single signal bus is spelled "bus", what is the plural? Buses, =
=3D
or=3D20
busses?
2. Can someone direct me to a web page with a schematic of a well =3D
designed=3D20
cable TV signal splitter. I've taken a Radio Shack one apart, and =
there=3D20
HAVE to be better designs! I'm curious what a good one looks like.
Thanks for the off-topic help
Doug Brooks
