Not me. As far as I'm concerned, a toggle switch is one that if you do
the same thing to it each time, it reverses the setting. So a button
that if you pressed it would turn the lights on, and if you pressed it
again would turn them off, would be a toggle switch.

I believe that's called a pushbutton switch. It's most definitely not a
toggle switch since your description precludes a toggle.

A regular light
switch has two different positions, one for on and one for off, and
that's the opposite of a toggle switch.

Actually, that's a common example of a toggle switch. The exposed lever
allows you to toggle the switch to either of two positions.

I'm sure you know that. I'm saying it for anyone here who doesn't know
it.
