I was listening to Mur Lafferty's podcast called "I
Should be Writing" and I
started thinking off on a tangent about how important is it that someone know
the names of the peices of ther craft. Take for instance a car mechanic. In
order to work with other mechanics they have to agree on terminology they need
to understand about the systems they are working on. But if the apocalypse
came and all the char mechanics died I would still be able to figure out how a
car works without knowing the names of it's parts. In my mind that means that
knowing the terms is really only important to the people in a field who
communicate with each other and with other fields.
