In addition, one of the close-votes claimed that the anode/cathode terminology is a matter of opinion. That is incorrect, it is established terminology.
Apr 7 at 7:37	comment	added	jkien		Please reopen. My question about the anode/cathode terminology was closed, and the stated reason for its closure was that it "appears to be about engineering". However, my question is definitely not about engineering; it is about established terminology that is widely used in high school physics and chemistry and beyond. Engineering would be: how to build or design an electrolytic capacitor. Faraday defined the anode/cathode terminology in 1834 in a way that has been preserved in chemistry, but as we know, its established use in electrolytic capacitors is inconsistent with Faraday's choice...
