Comment DB-9 versus DE-9 (Score 1) 412

You've probably never actually seen a DB-9 sub mini connector, yet that's what we call the connector commonly used for serial port connections. Except that's really a DE-9.
The tech world allowed them to become synonymous so long ago, that today no one can even recall that there is a difference.
