Alan Jacobs asks, "Why ammeter and not ampmeter"

The correct term to use, as used down the years since Farraday and Co. is actualy Ampere meter
but because we are basicaly lazy this has been shortened to ammeter when in general use.

Glyn, every time I go to the Jampot site I see your reply and I think I'm rude not to reply, so, thanks for the answer.
