DPI can mean *exactly* the same thing that PPI does. I
tend not to use it that way, but certainly don't get
disturbed if others do. Regardless it is pretty clear
that Eric understands exactly the difference between a
pixel and the multiple nozzle squirts that make a pixel.

Think about the "dot clock" in a monitor, think about
the DPI setting shown in the Exif data images,
and then try your ignorant argument again.

Incidentally, DPI was a term that originally meant pixels
per inch and each pixel was one dot.


At one point the two terms were almost interchangeable, but they never
truly were the same, but today it's moronic to confuse the two.
