"Regardless, if you don't know what "EMV" is, maybe you should not be commenting on such articles as this ..."

Why? This article is about NFC payments. EMV seems to be something different.

"Then, how would you know if the terminal had NFC or not?"

Because NFC terminals have the logos on the terminals regardless of if it is enabled or not. It wouldn't make any sense for a company that makes credit terminals with NFC inside but only put the indicator on some of them. I've seen a few places that do have terminals that have NFC capability but don't have it enabled(Toy's R Us, Best Buy and Sears to name a few).

Have you ever seen an NFC enabled terminal that DIDN'T indicate it had NFC on the hardware itself?
