In an attempt to help my son and a few family matters learn "proper" terms
relating to LBCs, I have thus far come up with the below list. Please
add/correct as you see necessary.  If y'all think it would be useful, I'll
add it to my web page.

If my spelling is incorrect, please correct it, my typing isn't working at
the moment
