Since I do not use Windows I never remember the term they use and I by mistake took the sound of the Swedish term (It is "mapp" in Swedish). But it is not the terms that are the problem. It is the abstract concepts. Even "program" is not understood. I have told people to start a browser and they do not know what I mean and I get respeonses like "do you mean open the internet".
