Ambiguity in Construction Estimating
Cross-topic of ambiguity and construction-estimating.
I hate to come off as pedantic, but I care a lot about standardized terminology because spending a few minutes to be more thoughtful in specification can save hundreds of people cumulative hours of confusion. And the problem with standardization, of course, is that sometimes it works, and undoing years of poor conditioning is... not easy.

Naming by use case is intuitive for those without estimating or field experience, but has the side effect that those accustomed to the names will inevitably treat them as descriptive, leading to category-mistake.
