In short, the Smithsonian Institution 1995-1999 (SI) seems to present the public with an extremely biased version of electrical engineering history. As we shall soon see, certain individuals within the SI have used rather loathsome linguistic legerdemains in their attempt to erase the great Hungarian-American inventor Nikola Tesla from the history books. I think readers will find an examination of this semantic sabotage quite entertaining.
