Not a stupid question, as most people nowadays would probably ask, "Is it a Word doc, pdf, or jpg? I asked the woman at teh computer store for a bastard and she slapped me."
Right you are. The file classification is evenly numbered, so mathematically speaking the "bastard" and "second cut" are the middles--the bastard being rougher as in courser. A single-cut means there's one row of diagonal teeth running up the file. A double-cut means there's two opposing diagonal rows running up the file, crossing each other, that form little diamonds. The single takes off less material per stroke but leaves a smoother finish while the double takes off more material per stroke but leaves a rougher finish.
