If someone calls it a "command line" I usually ignore them. If they call it a "shell" I am more inclined to take note . . .

  Okay, well I'll keep calling it a command line to avoid snobs like you. Thanks for the tip!

  A shell is a software construct that implements a level of abstraction over a lower system. A command line is a particular type of shell, gui's are often implemented as a shell too.
