Well, you are saying that the DC power supply establishes *electrical ground* as a current return pathway for the circut. I am saying that your *electrical ground* is actually the circut Common return path, and that no actual connection to an Earth Ground is required for said circut to function as a circut, therefore why refer to such as a ground vs Common? By refering to such as ground, confusion can arrise & in fact did with the OP. Thanks for the English language lesson, but what does that have to do with the topic under discussion? Unless you were making the same point that correct terms DO matter after all.
