No problem. I'm pretty thick skinned when it comes to vocabulary… It's one of the things that, being relatively new to open source projects, especially large ones, that I definitely need to learn. It wouldn't have surprised me at all if there was a term that is more accepted.
So I appreciate the mention, even if it only ended up reducing my (undisclosed) uncertainty that I was using the term correctly.

Thanks,
Richard
