It's interesting that you bring up Dota because I find that it's a ready example of the vocab point failing. When you listen to pros talk, they misuse words and concepts all the time but it doesn't matter because the other pros listening get the 'feel' of what they're saying. (I'm not a pro or anything, just high rank, but to use myself as an example) I try to make an effort to use the correct words when explaining things to friends. But even I find myself saying things like 'just look at the [lane] creeps' to explain what I want my laning partner to do and then I realise how unhelpful it is. Because when they see the creeps they don't understand what I see.
