Default Exercise Nomenclature

I wrote a blog entry about how some personal trainers name their exercises after a client came to me w/ a mess of a program from another trainer.

I was wondering if anybody else sees this as an issue?

I just started thinking about this again because I always call supine lying triceps extensions French presses and I really don't know if that is correct. Maybe French press is only w/ the EZ curl bar?

I think the best way to name all exercises is the standard way which I try to explain.
