Amen to that! The worst time I had was explaining MPE to another platform's
admin with an attitude problem (he already knew everything important, just
don't ask him to share anything useful), who wanted to tell me his
platform's definition of MPE terms like account and group, in spite of my
translating back into his jargon... Sheesh. I have to remember that NT
'users' are accounts, mainframe 'files' are datasets, 'paths' are high level
qualifiers, and 'function keys' are PF keys (though almost no one feels
obliged to remember that PC function keys are NOT PF keys). Yadda yadda
yadda. The purpose of jargon is to more easily identify the insiders from
those who "don't belong here". Learn the jargon, use it, and live with it.
As someone recently wrote to me, "it gives you credibility".
