There are times while I’m at work when I’d be having a one on one meeting with my boss to go over past, present, and future projects. Now, I don’t wanna be mean but, I always feel a little hurt inside when he uses the wrong terminology for certain things. I know he is just trying to explain stuff to me and its not his expertise or job. His job is to keep the ship afloat and talk business stuff to business people.
Then, I had this one moment when I was explaining some web design terms to my GF. I called the sides of a web layout a “Gutter.” She instantly felt a little hurt and corrected me. “It’s margins.” Whoops. I felt like a noob. But does anyone else feel this way when they hear wrong terms used in the wrong ways?
