I think beams are a nice shape. Those are wide-flange beams, not I-beams... I-beams aren't very common anymore.

Right; if you want to get really picky, they're W-profile sections.

...but no one will know what you're talking about, unless they work in fabrication So I think I-beam is still a valid name.

Oh yeah for sure, I work as an ironworker and I figured people here would be more receptive to a bit of nitpicking I-beam is pretty much accepted as the colloquial term and we still use it in shop talk even though we all know better. W-beam just doesn't roll off the tongue.
