> Just for the record, ultraviolet is a shorter wavelength than visible light. It's the frequency that is higher. Infrared is a longer wavelength and has a lower frequency. Ultraviolet is just beyond violet and infrared is just beyond red. They are the bookends of the visible spectrum.

Wavelength - Frequency
Generator - Transformer

These are a few of the related-but-very-different words that my mind somehow confuses all the time. I know what they mean individually, but what does that have to do with it? Somehow, these word pairs got hard-wired into my brain as synonymous when I was much younger, and I haven't been able to break it yet. Are there any word-pairs that any of you guys _always_ stumble over?
