@MarshallO, I would rather speak properly than in potentially misleading “layterms.”
For example, many people I talk to tell me that they are adding memory to their computers. When I ask how much, they tell me, “ohh, around 300 gigs.” I can’t help but look at them like they’re nuts! They really mean that they are adding more storage, but using the term memory the computer remembers it, duh! in place of storage leads people down the wrong path.
It is much better to say everything correctly, in the proper terminology, rather than to dumb it down. If someone asks, I explain to them exactly what I’m talking about. No showing off occurs, but people usually walk away understanding a lot more in the long run.
