When discussing terms used in the electrical industry on this board, we should keep in mind that some terms are different between various locations around the world, and may lead to confustion when questions are asked of those of us in the USA.

Can someone offer to post the terms to be used so as to avoid confusion.

For example, what is a "ring circuit" and a "spur" and does a "fitting" mean something like a "device" and others .. get the picture?

Look here http://www.osha-slc.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=STANDARDS&p_id=9976 for OSHA 1910.399 for the same terms used in NEC Article 100, at least those found in earlier NEC's.
