Chuck:
Actually, I am an English teacher by profession, but that does not mean I have a full understanding of either technical or legal terms (which I don't).  However, I think I have learned here to take ThaCrip's advice, and then just leave being helpful to others more savvy than me.  I'm definitely not looking to be reamed out for simply trying to point out some trouble I had.

Llorean:
If someone said "press the green button" and meant "press the blue button" but couldn't be bothered to say the right word, confusion occurs.

If you say "I downloaded the daily build" but meant "I downloaded the current build" and couldn't be bothered, other confusion occurs. Here there was enough information in context to realize you were being lazy and not using the terms that you were given, but elsewhere that information may not be available.

It's not a question of being "savvy" enough. The terms were right there in front of you, you just couldn't be bothered to actually read them apparently, or if you did didn't bother to think it might be worth your time to use our own terms for things so we knew what you were talking about clearly. So yes, now you're getting "reamed out" as it were, but had you simply said "Oh, I didn't realize there was a difference, sorry" then it would've ended there. Honestly, is it really so hard to take a few minutes and pay attention to what you're doing?

My initial post was a simple "please use the right term, and here's where they belong." You even admitted you didn't know where they belonged. There was no "reaming" in it, and the tone was even polite (for example, I used 'please'). You chose to get defensive.
