I suppose that you could explain that a table is a physical
file create with SQL, that has some particular properties of its own.
e.g.., the data is verified BEFORE it gets written, opposed
to a DDS PF, where the data is verified at read time...

Should it bug me when a coworker says table but means a PF?

It does and I'm not sure why.

Thanks.
