An issue of nomenclature and potato soup

Ok, this first bit is a rant. We are talking matter and antimatter. An antimatter proton is called an antiproton, but an antimatter electron is called a positron. Which makes sense but doesn't make sense. A regular proton is positively charged and an antiproton (being antimatter) is negatively charged. An electron is negatively charged unless it's an antimatter electron in which case it's positively charged. My issue is the nomenclature. If you are going to call an antimatter proton an antiproton then why would you name an antimatter electron a positron instead of an anti-electron? I can understand why you might want to name it a positron since it's positively charged but in that case you would want to name an antiproton a negatron, right? This has been annoying me for days. I made homemade crockpot potato soup. I used the Paula Deen recipe: 1 bag (30 oz) frozen hash-brown potatoes 2 cans (14 oz ea) chicken broth 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of chicken soup 1/2 C chopped onion 1/3 tsp ground black pepper 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened Garnish: minced green onion, Cheddar, shredded, and bacon In a crock pot, combine potatoes, broth, soup, onion, and pepper. Cover, and cook on low for 5 hours. Stir in cream cheese, cook 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until combined. Garnish with green onion, and/or Cheddar and bacon if desired. I altered it slightly and put in a small package of those tiny ham cubes, and tossed in three slices of pepper jack cheese when I put the cream cheese in. It was LOVELY!
