Hes just being pedantic. Reality is US houses get a +120v and a -120v supply. Combine them is how you get 240v.
Comment on Does different parts of the world use different standards for water pressure similar to voltages?
CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 5 months agoIs that substantial though or is it like calling 120V something like 110V/115V?

There’s lots of pedantry going on in this thread rather than attempting to understand the spirit of the question.

It doesn’t matter one bit. The actual voltage from the wall varies, and devices are build to operate under a fairly wide margin.
