We've all done stuff like this ... and don't believe anyone who says 
they haven't!

For example, I am deeply into extreme OO Perl, Mason and the like. 
However, I messed up when asked to put PDF bookmarks into a PDF using 
PDF::API2. Now, Acrobat Reader calls these things Bookmarks. They show 
up in the Bookmark tab. Everyone calls them Bookmarks. But blow me 
down, if they're not 'really' called 'Outlines'. Why would you think 
they're called outlines unless you're a PDF geek/guru?

Hates PDF 'outlines' ...

The trouble is, even if you are a mega-hyper-geek and a guru in your 
field, there are things you need to just *work* without having to 
become a guru in that thing too. Now, I am a pretty experienced Unix 
programmer, but this is why I gave up on Linux when Max OS X came out. 
(Well not quite -- I waited until 10.2). I hates having to geek about 
to do things like burn CDs ...
