Different subject but Albert annoyed the hell out of me because he always said “thundershowers” in his forecasts instead of “thunderstorms” And to this day you never see or hear anyone using that  

About 20 or 25 years back I went to the NE Weather Conference and one of the presenters mentioned that there is no such thing as a thundershower, just thunderstorms.  My reaction then as it is today is that is a Thundershower is a thunderstorm that you can only hear but hits the next town over.  A thunderstorm hits you.

Not scientific but it is how I differentiated them.
