"Cold formed steel" sounds more manly than "light gage"?

Richard,
What do you need to know all that for? I have done a lot of light gage design, what am I missing?
CFSEI should have the answers to your light gage, I mean, cold formed steel questions....
On that note, why must "they" keep changing the names of perfectly good terms? What changed?
Light Gage >> Cold formed
Slab on grade >> slab on ground (which sounds less technical)
pour concrete >> place/pump concrete
is it wood, is it timber?
wood sheathing can be plywood or OSB....
Sorry about the tangent.
Andrew Kester, P.E.
