If you do choose to keep contributing to the list (I hope you do), it is probably worth the time to make sure you are using the terminology correctly. As Joe mentioned, a lot of people who are very skilled technically don't always communicate well with other humans. One common characteristic among very technical people is the inability to get the gist of what people are saying even if they are imprecise with their language.

It is also helpful to try to be as precise as possible when posting questions because many more people will be willing to help if they are able to quickly discern problem you are having.
