> Why start calling things 2-vectors, when you could call them 2-forms and people would know what you were talking about?
There is more to 2-forms. Also, to be precise, they are functions from a vector space to the scalar field (usually reals). Sure, they form a (dual) vector space but I think it would be more confusing to call GA elements k-forms.
