This is very true. Folks use the terms interchangeably. I can give you one of mine. Everyone calls their mobile phones "cell" phones. There have not been cell phones for at least 10 years. A cellular phone was old TDM tech whereas once the phones went digital and pretty much moved into what has been out there since actually what GSM started to do with their evolution around 2000 is a mobile telephony network. I won't bore you with further details, but that bothers me just as much as it apparently bothers you with the engine vs motor terminology. Another for me is calling all inline skates "Rollerblades" or those unfortunates that called mp3 players from various manufacturers iPods.
