Comment(by mikeschinkel):

 '''@janeforshort: Wow, that sounded condescending,'''

 Oh by no means, I was just sharing what worked for me.  Was trying to be
 helpful, not condescending.

 '''@janeforshort: What I was saying is that because we use the word Page
 to describe what is essentially a static post, and the word "page" is used
 in other web terminology (a web page, the admin page, etc), it frequently
 happens that users get confused when they use the word "page" to mean
 something other than a WP Page, or the person helping them does, or some
 combination thereof ... If we have to do a ton of explaining to describe
 the concept, then that generally means it's not named as well as it could
 be.'''

 Ah, good point.  I was not thinking of it from that perspective.  Sorry
 again if it came across condescending, wasn't meaning to be.  FWIW, I
 agree that good naming is super important.

 So would be it fair to say, from your experience, that the term "Page"
 generates the biggest problems whereas "Post" is easier for most people to
 grasp?
