What is labelled "flat" here I've only ever heard of as "countersunk" and what's labelled as "slotted" I've only ever heard of as "flat head". Also wtf is "PF"?

    I thought, for some reason, that Robertson was ostracized from the screw world.

    In the USA maybe.

    Everywhere else it's pretty common.

    A "cross head" generally refers to the JIS, (Japanese Industrial Standard), version of the philips screw. Because evidently they were too lazy to design something original. They require their own special set of screwdrivers to fit correctly, (the philips drivers are close, but no cigar).
