I'm not saying the copper is bad. I'm saying it is the conductor which is contaminated. Yes, we could call it contaminated power, perhaps. But it's all electricity, whether it is 60 Hz, 120 Hz, 180 Hz, etc. And there is no 'dirt'. Dirty is a common term for use in common situations--like the term "soiled". But it is a misnomer in many of the ways we use it. Eg. 'a dirty magazine'. Where's the dirt?
If this issue is to be taken seriously by the general doubting, skeptical public, then it behooves us to improve the vernacular used. This problem has affected the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for decades now, as an example. Problem is, it has been nearly impossible to come to a consensus on a better name.
Habits of language die hard.
This is the End...

I have been thinking about this for awhile now and, with all due deference to Sim Milham and Magda Havas, I am of the opinion that "dirty electricity" is a misnomer. I think the 'dirty' part is misleading, because there is no actual 'dirt' and thus using the term has the effect of making it confusing to most people and allows the issue to be more easily dismissed as 'nonsense'.
