I'll add 'UI/UX' or 'UX' when they're clearly discussing user interface alone. They seem to be treated as synonymous but aren't, and are a very strong sign that the person using them isn't good at UI because UI is substantially about clarity (at its core), or just none too bright and willing absorb buzzwords without understanding them. "The user experience (UX or UE) is how a user interacts with and experiences a product, system or service. It includes a person's perceptions of utility, ease of use, and efficiency" or "According to Nielsen Norman Group, 'user experience' includes all the aspects of the interaction between the end-user with the company, its services, and its products" from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_experience https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_experience . and "In the industrial design field of human–computer interaction, a user interface (UI) is the space where interactions between humans and machines occur. The goal of this interaction is to allow effective operation and control of the machine from the human end, while the machine simultaneously feeds back information that aids the operators' decision-making process ... User interfaces are composed of one or more layers, including a human-machine interface (HMI) that interfaces machines with physical input hardware such as keyboards, mice, or game pads, and output hardware such as computer monitors, speakers, and printers" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_interface https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_interface If I were hiring for a UI role and found somebody talked about UI/UX but couldn't explain or distinguish the difference, that would be a strong mark against them.
