Well... Im also not an engineer....but unless we are arguing semantics.... Ive always thought that an "adapter" does not switch voltages... or are you saying that there are special adapters that not only allow you to plug in stuff but also modify voltage...?????

Maybe we mean different things by transformer or converter.....? Again, I may be getting the English names wrong...
