There exist many terms that are highly similar and can legitimately be used interchangeably in various contexts. This isn't wrong, a slight difference may be insignificant in ordinary conversation and so the list here may also serve as a list of synonyms, considering a synonym is defined as a word of SIMILAR meaning (it is very rare for two distinct words to have exactly the same meaning). However it's crucial to stress that we must at least be aware of the fact that the slight differences do exist, for the sake of the cases where they matter (such as technical specifications etc.). The list below attempts to document some of the often confused/similar terms. This is NOT a nitpicking list for people to go "ACKCHUALY" every time someone uses a slightly incorrect word, it's here to make us aware that in some special cases we should take a little extra time to think through which word to use to prevent misunderstanding.
