Umm, it’s “lose”, not “loose”. Uggghhhh!
Hmmm - I think I’ll elect to - NOT loose any sleep over it.

RMS Power?
I often see power specifications like "100W RMS". There is no such thing as RMS power. Of course, you can calculate RMS value from any curve, including power curve, but it won't represent anything. "Real" power representing heat dissipated in resistive load is "Average Power" Pavg=Vrms*Irms. In case of sinewaves Pavg=0.707Vpeak * 0.707Ipeak = 0.5Ppeak, or Ppeak = 2Pavg.
Term "RMS Power" or "watts RMS" is a mistake, very common in audio.
