Alas, 'tis true. For too many years the digital crowd, having
heard the term 'undershoot' but never really worked with it,
assumed that it was what is known more precisely, negative-going
overshoot. Books, articles, and instrumentation all made
this usage the only one known to many young and impressionable
engineers.

Well, sometimes they mean overshoot below -2v, and a very few
deal with other signalling levels, but essentially correct.
