It also gets annoying when people discuss things and in the end discover they are talking about different things, you know. When a networks guy talks about bandwidth, he might refer to bit rate or channel capacity, but for an RF engineer, bandwidth is measured in Hertz. Interrupting the commnunication of ideas is bad, but communicating imprecise ideas is close to useless.
