Actually, you're both right. If I recall my Jr Highschool printing, 
12 characters/inch = 10 pt type and 10 char/inch = 12 pt type.

I've seen pitch used in manuals to mean either. I assume pitch does have
a real definition, but most writers of word processor docs don't seem to
know it. (And nethier do I. Would someone like to adress this? Please give
a reference if you do.)
 
Just another of Murphy's little oddities!
