When will the NEC start calling equipment grounding conductors as equipment bonding conductors? In the NEC ground or earth does zero with fault clearing, yet the name implies it does. Its that use of the word "ground" that makes it so confusing for apprentices, lay people and even professionals. When someone would ask me why EGCs are called grounding, I had no way of answering that, and to be honest I still do not.

Hopefully in the 2020 cycle someone will come to their senses. Can we make this happen?
