This part used to be called horizontal, right?
This is causing for problems, at least the inventory of the Central Perk set
is off.
But I am not really sure I understand the logic behind the name change.
(Perhaps this happened a long time ago already but I only noticed just now )

You can also think about it as a hand.
A minifig hand is a clip and it’s clearer / more natural to apply “horizontal”
or “vertical” to it.

Thanks for the explanation!
I am pretty sure that the plates also used to be called differently. (vertical
was horizontal and around)
Theory behind the names is not logical to me, when a clip is vertical, call it
vertical. Why go a step further and think about the bar that will attach it.
At least on Brickset they do it right.

Brickset copies lego names, which is why they also copy LEGO's errors, such
as using a zero instead of an O. It doesn't have to be the bar you think
of, you can also think of the channel of the clip, the channel runs vertically.
That said, I think the definition based on what a clip holds is probably best,
as clips are designed to hold something. So if I use a clip to hold a drainpipe,
I want a vertical one.

Valid argument, however, the manufacturer is the naming source, and shouldn't
we respect that they are considering the orientation of the clip itself, not
the "channel" or the orientation of the object it might hold?
The industry standard for such devices, is that opposing angles bind; that is
to say, a vertical device holds a horizontal element, and the part's reference
is based on the object you are referring to, not the future mated object.
By way of your argument, BL, and by extension, TLG, assumes the engineers are
in error? Maybe so, maybe not so; although I find it humorous that grammar errors
are carried through. It may be laziness, or total respect for the manufacturer,
I don't know... however, I lean toward the former.
On an interesting note, when I get a "horizontal" clip from the manufacturer,
and get a "vertical" clip from BL, they appear to be one in the same element
and are 100% interchangeable. Go figure.

It’s not “carried through” by “laziness.” It’s simply because Brickset’s database
IS (a copy of) LEGO’s database.
They get their data directly from LEGO and don’t change anything because their
purpose is showing LEGO’s data verbatim.
That’s not BL’s catalogue’s purpose.

LEGO kept the names secret for many years, and BL started using it's own
definition. If BL changes this, then should change they everything else to fit
LEGO's catalogue too? For example,
should be called a ROCKER BEARING 1x2.
[p=30367c]
is a FINAL BRICK 2x2.
Then there are inconsistencies in the naming of similar parts:
LEGO calls these:
RIGHT PLATE W. ANGLE 3X12
and
LEFT PLATE 2X3 W/ANGLE
One gets the dimensions first, then angle, the other is the other way around.
Plus one name is "W. ", the other is "W/"
These two, that look similar, have similar names at BL:
Whereas at LEGO one is a BRICK 2X2W.INSIDE AND OUTS.BOW, the other is a BOW 1/4
4X4X1. So one is a brick, the other a bow.
You'd expect these two things to be similar based on their LEGO names:
BRICK W. BOW 2X4
BRICK W. BOW 1X4
Yet the names correspond to these parts:
And this thing:
has no orientation in the name, it is just a PLATE 1X1 W/ HOLDER.
| | The industry standard for such devices, is that opposing angles bind; that is

|
But what defines a clip, is it the "arms" or is it groove in it? It could be
either, especially as they are both roughly the same dimensions here.
How would you describe these, if they needed to be distinguished?
I would say they are vertical and horizontal, and they hold vertical and horizontal
parts.

Precisely, I think you've helped prove the point: at any time, irrespective
of any industry or engineering standard, names are going to be conflated, twisted,
and distorted by the entire chain of "handlers".
However, the original question was when did the names change, and the
answers were attempts to explain why the names changed. The objective
was to address both.
The when, of course, being years ago when BL decided they didn't like the
manufacturer's nomenclatures, perhaps even day one (though the point is well
taken that the manufacturer saw no need to publicly name their elements and should
be considered as to why BL moved in this direction, you might know better as
to when the manufacturer disclosed their internal names). The why being as long
as we, the BL community, develop a common symbology, regardless of our biases,
we can use the site.
And as was also pointed out, even the logic applied to the first examples of
why, don't flow throughout the BL catalogue. Nonetheless, we can use BL,
as understanding is not a requisite, only acceptance.
Then finally, to use other platforms, one will need a translator. For example,
feces = excréments = ontlasting = heces = kot = fezes and so forth... yes?
On a personal note, I enjoy these discussions, they're civil and above all,
educational. While understanding is not necessarily necessary to use BL, it
can spark creativity and in our case, lead to discoveries that make our hobby
even more enjoyable.

With al due respect but how can you be so sure?
I've been selling here since 2000.
My inventory boxes carry the stickers with the old names since that date, these
names were changed sometime in the past 20 years, I only did not notice
this until just a few months ago.
I did notice that very recently the names were changed again. And for the better,
they have included the word 'grip'in the description.

Perhaps the OP simply set up their labels in a way that makes sense by describing
the part itself rather than how it is sometimes used, and his error is that he
assumed the rest of the Lego community would also follow common sense.
The way Lego describes these parts is more accurate and does not rely on defining
it by a particular usage. It is the "describe it by its use and not its shape"
philosophy that created the widely inconsistent Bricklink categories. Clips are
not always used as clips. Sometimes they are used merely as decoration. And when
they are used as clips, the parts held by them are not necessarily oriented in
a certain way. The clips are designed to allow for movement and are often used
as hinge parts, allowing the attached part to move from horizontal to vertical
around the attachment point.
Regardless of the history of the nomenclature, it is confusing and is not based
on describing the shape of the part itself. It is based on one attribute of a
part it may attach to. The bar on the other part may be oriented horizontally
or vertically relative to the part, so the full part with the bar may be oriented
opposite to the name of the clip.
Attach
to a "vertical" clip and it will be oriented horizontally. Sideways.
It was a short-sighted initial decision and it has unfortunately been perpetuated.

Yes. The only clip-like part for which “vertical/horizontal” as used here could
make sense is the minifig hand (because of the already established meaning of
“vertical/horizontal” for human hands). And that part isn’t described as a clip
nor has “clip” nor any orientation in its description….
| | […]
It was a short-sighted initial decision and it has unfortunately been perpetuated.
|
Yes.
And it’s a difficult decision to correct now, as there isn’t any other pair than
vertical/horizontal (that I know of) to describe the difference between the clips.
The only way would be to swap the meanings of vertical and horizontal, creating
confusion.
(Hence the latest change from “clip vertical” to “clip (vertical grip).”)

I’m not sure this is serious due to the way it’s worded but if I owe an apology,
I’d sincerely apologize to you, your wife’s memory, and her family and friends

triggered painful memories of a dearly departed.

It’s also a trap question that can’t be answered without verifying (making true)
the tacit premise (asking about circumstances of something stopping implies the
something existed).
Did you stop eating snails?
— Yes ≫ Yuck! You ate snails.
— No ≫ Yuck! You’re still eating snails.

Seriously!? While I have never committed the most heinous and vile crime you
accuse me of, as an LEO and EMS responder, I have seen more than my fair share
of domestic violence. I find your willingness to use such imagery as a comedic
prop, repugnant.

The fact your patently false statements, and lack of remorse, are endorsed by
TLG administration, is disconcerting, as well.
Fortunately, I am an extendedly tolerant man and personally unfazed by such attacks,
I only bother to address this matter because you both have offended the honor
of a person I continue to hold in the highest regard, who never sinned against
either of you, and who didn't deserve to be disparaged. Your follies to falsely
hold out a kind and gentle soul, as a victim of a true social ill, only diminish
the voice of the real victims of abuse.
Shame on you both!

Please do not continue to include me in this. The fact that you are assuming
that I condoned the behavior is insulting and offensive to me.

Sorry to hear about your loss, James.
I just now stumbled upon this info.
