I agree to a point. But ACID is part of the nomenclature for relational databases. I feel that if I ask a developer what ACID means, it doesn’t matter to me if they know the specific meaning of each letter in the acronym, but it does matter that they’ve heard of the term and can explain the implications of it. The point of jargon is to allow concise communication between experts. Knowing the jargon is part of the job.
