It was meant to be implicit in what I wrote that I don't have too much of a problem with 'electronic transformer' (even if when it is abbreviated to 'transformer'), provided that both input and output are AC (and ideally the same frequency). Indeed, if it were a 'black box with terminals', one wouldn't necessarily know (from its functionality) whether what was inside the box was a wire-wound transformer or some electronics.
Well, I have some sympathies ... these 'abuses' (adaptations) of established terminology do niggle me a bit, too, but life is too short to get too excited once the 'adapted' terminology comes to be established/common usage.
There does seem to be a shortage of words.
Got excited once, didn't like it.
Yes but we are, surely, primarily confirming 'continuousness' of the conductors.
Indeed you are, but (as you almost say) a 'continuity test' is essentially qualitative (well, strictly, dichotomous). You can do it with your cheapo multimeter on its continuity/'buzzer' range (or with a battery and bulb), and you should record the answer as 'yes' ('continuousness is present') or 'no' ('continuousness is not present'). The threshold between 'yes' and 'no' obviously corresponds to some arbitrarily pre-determined resistance.
