Comment(by dd32):

 The confusing part is to people who do not understand what the Template
 and Stylsheet are, Yet know what the Parent and the Child are.

 Most theme developers refer to them as Parent and Child themes, infact,
 most developers do too.

 So the deal is, We should stop refering to them as Stylesheet and
 Template, and instead, refer to them as Parent and Child, a name that is
 clear cut and obvious to people (Instead of scratching your head, and
 thinking, now, is the child the template or the stylsheet...)
