Paul, In general I agree with you. Terminology is important and when I’m writing technical reports and discussing matters with a colleague I strive to use precise terms. But to refuse to listen to, or to distort another’s conversation because he isn’t using the language of the anointed, is much like the traveler who returned from abroad with the conclusion that all foreigners were stupid, “because if you speak clearly and distinctly, any intelligent person should be able understand English”
