I agree you should know the "proper" name for parts but unfortunately there is often more than one "correct:" name for a part.  I find that often times the person behind the counter doesn't know the right terms.  I always have to go behind the counter at the place I get my boat parts and point to the item on the microfisch diagram - and I'm refering to the part by the name in the shop manual.  Plus you've got the official name and the common name on a lot of parts.  You call it by the official name and you sound like a nerd.  We wouldn't want that would we.  Whatever, as long as I get the RIGHT part I'm happy.
