Or, as in this case Bill - devolves. Describing something as what it isn't
instead of what it is, or framing it with a later sub-model as the
progenitor. Akin to saying something like "I've got a '69 Chevelle non-SS".

Fortunately there's hope: Googling R-390/URR returned over 57,000 hits and
R-390 receiver, over 650,000. The new-age ebonics approach remains but a
small sliver of the overall discussion out there. Seems to primarily be an
internet thing.

Hang in there, Les!
