Minor gripe about mobile computing.
Why does my phone have to clarify that it's "charging on AC" when it's just hooked up to an external battery? Not only is it technically wrong, but why not just say "charging" and call it good?
It's like choosing to say "click the link" instead of "follow the link". Making a lot of assumptions here when the contradicting cases are pretty damn obvious by now....

@ElectricKeet The only thing I can think of is if it can be charged wirelessly, in which case I could see it being helpful to know what's currently feeding it.
Or you're using USB-AC. =:)

Is there a term for this pattern of overeager specificity, or is it just one more to chuck into the bucket of UI Shit What Coders Get Wrong?
