i do this every now and then because i work on windows. at least a linux audience would know what you mean. you might be surprised at how many windows users wouldn't have clue what a 'directory' is until you tell them "it's a folder", while trying very, very hard not to add "..dumbass" at the end.

    Windows techs dont always understand when you use the term tree I am getting old so maybe thats part of it.

    end users are just that, users. I dont expect them to know anything outside of exactly what they need to.
