This question originally came from postal packin' mama. I had this "discussion" with another poster recently. In MHO, I think she is right in calling the triangle a half square triangle. That is what it is. I think all the rest of us use that term incorrectly. We all say a HST is the two triangles sewn together. But I don't think we'll be changing any minds soon, so we'll just have to live with it.
