The language of sailing is nearly a language of it's own. I still have problems with the correct use of certain terminology. And, it continues to evolve.

This seems to be the best way to talk about. On the other hand, on board it sometimes makes sense to have short and different sounding terms. The more they should be well known by each crew member.
