Yes, I'm with pdurrant on this - I have been very involved with family history for a while, so you do get used to it.
Another confusing thing in relationship terminology is that a great-aunt or uncle is a generation closer to the child in question than a great-grandmother/father is. There could be a good argument for changing to grand-aunt or uncle, to be the same as grandmother/father.
