Then let's call it a "Single Point Equipment Ground" or "Single Point
Entrance Ground" or something like that.

I agree with everything you are doing except the nomenclature. Ok, I
admit to being nitpicky about names of things, but I firmly believe
names like SPG should mean what they say and not require a further
explanation to clear up the misnomer. Can you tell I used to be a tech
writer? :-)

I think we are all on the same page about the physical layout of our
grounding systems. Let's just give it a correct name.
