I've spent most of my time as an Explainer of Tech to the Suits and Proles, so I often have to know and use both types of meanings. If someone really wants to understand, I often have to break out the flash cards! It's a complicated world. Then again, I think that anyone in an educated or professional stance tends to be grateful for people who mis-use the terminology...it makes them easy to spot. If everybody in the world called the transmission protocol "bluetooth" and the headsets "headsets", well then it'd be darn difficult for me to tell the difference between a techie and a toy-junkie in ten seconds or less, wouldn't it? ;) Hehe, very interesting!
