So I was reading a journal article and I saw the phrase "electrostatic wave", and I became somewhat disgruntled and ranted a little bit to the guys I share an office with, since the phrase is seemingly an oxymoron...'electrostatic' implies a time invariant field and therefore a 'wave' cannot be produced. Well, a few hours later I decided to look the term up in google and apparently it is a very commonly used term. I feel dumb. Sometimes I just get too carried away about little things like this.
