Oh I don't doubt that at all. But it is fascinating to read the  
comments. Programmers are generally extremely (anal) picky about what  
words are used or how to describe something precisely. However, when  
it comes to art & design, they generally lack the vocabulary. Of  
course, it makes sense, as every field of study has its own jargon  
and its own common idioms.

The uninitiated sound like cats talking to dogs.
