As the people expected to know the proper terms, we are also the people expected to use them. Without exception, so that the proper terms ultimately rub off as common usage.
Don't get me wrong... I ALWAYS use the terms pitching plate, circle, etc, and properly use interference/obstruction (and correct people on this one when they say it wrong).

I was just saying that if some coach refers to a rubber in softball, I can live with it. Mound, however, drives me crazy. In fact, last year I had a coach call time, and then ask if he could go to the mound - my answer, "Sure, if you can find one, but the closest mound is over there (pointing to the baseball fields nearby)." He didn't get it.
