His first experiments were with dead animals - making them twitch by shocking them. It then became more commonly used for the process of metalplating with zinc by the use of electricity. Thus the term "galvanize." Later on, and now, the term is used more loosely to any sort of zinc-coating process. So, I ask again - "uhmm no" to what? The historical record?
