“If I check a 3 wire extension cord (hot neutral ground) and I have "continuity" on each wire from end to end is that also "open" but not shorted.” No
“continuity” generally means that there is a conducting path of very low resistance where a conducting path is desired, such as through the individual wires of your extension cord, or the operating wires of a circuit.
“open” means there is no conducting path. “Open” can be good in that there is no conducting path intended, such as an “open” or “off” position on a switch. “Open” can be bad in that there is no conducting path where one is desired, such as in a broken wire or burned out resistor.
“shorted” means there is a conducting path where one is not desired.
“continuity” and “shorted” are sometimes used interchangably.
“leaky” means “an in betweener”, neither fully “open” nor fully “shorted” It is a partial or high resistance conducting path where one is not desired such as a partially shorted condenser.
So in your question above the wires from end to end on the extension cord would have “continuity” or show shorted from end to end, but be “open” across either end of two separate conductors.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
