Why is acrylic pour terminology so confusing?

Over the last few months I have found that many new acrylic pour artist are using the wrong terminology to explain different things with pouring.

They are mixing terms that means something specific to a a technique but not to acrylic pouring overall. Pillow paint, ratios, cell activator are a few of the terms I see most often used incorrectly.

In this video I try to set a level playing field for anyone using these terms so hopefully we can all start at a base understanding and remove some of the confusion surround our acrylic pour vocabulary.
