Clarified terms

| Jul 10, 2017 at 19:13 | comment | added | user737 | @NunoGilFonseca Yes, it is unfortunate that many common words are used for very different things. 'Class' can refer to the group of students enrolled in a particular Class Period. When I teach about databases I always have to explain how naming things has some complexity - singular or plural names, a formal or informal name (Employee vs Person) etc. Words come to be used for things they are members of or represent... But we have to start somewhere. Perhaps if people from various regions and with various languages add to this, it will be more clear and correct. | |
