At least I'm not absent-mindedly calling astronomer ASTROLOGERS. That one used to make my friends curdle. As long as it passed spell checker .. and no use saying afterwards, "but what I MEANT was" as the hounds of sci.astro were already howling off down the wrong trail. Guess the term elliptical plane made sense to me because the orbits are ellipses, its the orbital plane, and um .. but plane of the ecliptic is the term, so that's what should be used.
