"12 volts" is the traditional designation for the voltage of a lead acid
battery, which is actually 13.8v.

To really understand the difference between nominal and actual, think in
terms of two by fours, the national speed limit, and presidential integrity.

When promulgating your esoteric cogitations or articulating your
superficial sentimentalities and amicable philosophical and psychological
observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your verbal
evaporations have lucidity, intelligibility, and veracious vivacity without
rodomontade or thespian bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic
profundity, pompous propensity, and sophomoric vacuity.

In other words, KISS (keep it simple etc.)
