[edit] Confluence/Confluency

Shouldnt this article be renamed to "confluence"? Im not sure that "confluency" is even a word. (At least not in my Oxford dictionary - Im not english native). --192.38.113.102 12:23, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Could someone clarify the meaning of 'confluency' by stating what 0% and 100% 'confluency' refer to, rather than 40-60%, which leaves it ambiguous? Does 0% or 100% 'confluency' refer to the end of the growth phase? And if an article refers to 'confluent' cells, does that mean the cells have reached 100% 'confluency'?

[edit] Title

I agree with the above statement; in my textbooks it's called confluence. There's really not much detail here either, stuff needs to be added on determining whether confluence will occur for a certain culture or not too. dreamcatcher23 13:31, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
