Sorry, I think you're wrong here. Since only a pure sinusoid has the
concept of "phase" I believe this term is actually quite correct. PI
radian / 180 degree phase shift = inverse polarity. For other
waveforms you usually talk about "period" or "cycle", but phase is for
sinusoids only. Not sure what audio engineers think about this (they
sometimes do use funny terminology) but this is how the physics and
math guys see it.
