'Amperage'?

[Jango]

I am pretty sure that you shouldn't say 'amperage' to refer to the amount of Amps running through something.

I always thought you should say 'current'...

Why do people say 'amperage' when referring to the amount of current a PSU has instead of saying 'current'?

Ok, it is just that in electronics at school, I used the term 'amperage' (as I had seen people on this forum use it) and my teacher said that it is wrong and that you should say 'current' instead.

Yeah, I agree. ^^

'What is the meterage from here to my garden pond?

Sounds quite ridiculous...
