Paul, 1/ If you think the potential vs potential energy remark was just humor, you are showing great ignorance. Look up the definition of voltage = electric potential:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential "Electric potential is the potential energy per unit of charge associated with a static (time-invariant) electric field, also called the electrostatic potential, typically measured in volts." and then tell me if you click "voltage" and delete it too :) 2/ You seem to be eluding my question wrt the formulation of KE in terms of work (below). Click "everything that doesn't fit" and delete it?
