It is important for everyone's understanding that correct terminology is always used. Unfortunately it isn't. To be fair to MarkS he did place the offending word within inverted commas but even that doesn't make the claim any more understandable. It is best just simply ignored.

Morning Simon, except that from a signal processing viewpoint DC is just one special case of a sinusoid in that it is a sinusoid of zero frequency. In fact most real-world signals have a DC component and many AC components where the clipping may in fact occur due to the presence of the relatively large DC component. So the term is safe to use for AC and DC, I would suggest.
In any case, it is great fun to suggest to COLVERT that he is nearly there but not quite!
