Keith Mc said, (in regards to Electronic Keyboards:
"Hey, Joe,

Your concern might have more merit if ...
you stopped called square pianos 'square grands' "

Keith, 
Your problem, if you will, is to believe Wikipedia! (which, in a lot of people's opinion, is not the know all/be all of proper definitons!)<G>
Academia has chosen to differentiate between Full Cast Iron Plated Rectangular Pianos and those with partial or no bracing with the two terms. It's not of my doing, but it's the correct and accepted terminology IMO.
Regards,
Joe
