Photography is nothing, try sailing. I teach sailing to boyscouts. There are no ropes used in sailing, there are sheets (ropes that control the sails), and halyards (to raise the sail) Rode (anchor rope), and stays (wire rope to hold the mast up) Because I'm more interested in the kids learning to love to sail, I do use the word rope.... much to the chagrin of the old salts that think the kids must spend their time studying the differences between the tacks based on wind direction, or the front bottom of a sail, also called the tack. Getting all wrapped up in fancy terms takes away from the fun that gets newbies interested in lots of hobbies.
That being said, I actually don't think photography is nearly as bad as some special interests when it comes to wierd terms.

Yeah, I like to use abreviations so I don't have to talk or write so long. Hence: Photograph = ph, shutter = sh and aperture = ap. Unfortunately others have started using those tems in other arenas. The nerve!!!
