I agree, but ...

The 'Desktop' directory is not a desktop and 'Wallpaper' is not wallpaper and the 'Recycle Bin' is not ..... etc., many more

They're just metaphors for people who think computers are appliances and just want to plug them in and surf.

There's a whole lot more mis-uses of terminology that I see every day

If they aid communication, I just bite my tongue
