I agree. It is especially annoying when trying to help someone with 
their Windows box, and you say "go to this directory" and they say 
"what's a directory"?

I learned this lesson long ago when writing technical documentation. To 
confuse people, keep changing the name of the contents of an array. 
Switch randomly between "elements", "members", "items", etc. They'll 
never get comfortable with it.
