P3D stereo jargon

I've never thought 'pseudo' was a very good term for accurately
describing the phenomenon resulting from reversed film chips or prints,
which could be more accurately described as 'inverse' or 'reverse' - a
scientist could surely come up with a better term. There also are
effects (like conversion of 2-D to 3-D) that might clearly qualify as
'pseudo' or false or fake.

Similarly, I've never thought 'anaglyph' was an appropriately
descriptive term for two-color viewing. Couldn't it be 'two-color' or
'red/green' or 'red/cyan'?

Then there's 'ortho.' I was once asked if I were an 'ortho-man'.
