I am quite surprised by this, David J., coming from one who is generally
solid and doesn't seem to have a dog in this fight.

My dog in this fight is that I object to stupid obnoxious pedantic
lecturing, especially when it's basically wrong. As it is in this case,
since Alan was talking about scanning, were dpi is the standard term.

Well, as I hope you've seen by now, it wasn't wrong, and if you think
using correct terminology is pedantic, so be it.

Yes, DPI is used a lot in scanning, but the results are always pixels,
expressed as ppi.

Clear now?
