How Is Inflation Related to CPI?

If people, including the author sorry to say, would quit using the word "inflation" by itself without a qualifying phrase, we would all get a better understanding of what is meant.

While the Victorians were verbose and flowery in their prose, at least they did use full, grammatically correct, sentences and their meaning was, by and large, quite clear.

In modern times, we have to shorten everything down and use acronyms to the point of being meaningless to outsiders and to the point of ambiguity to insiders.

Don't even get me started on the disappearance of the hyphen ;-)
