I think you are missing my point.

Words like functions/procedures tend to have different connotations across languages and once one crosses one's 15th language, and each having some 20 different keywords, it become difficult to remember what the exact connotation of a word is, in a specific language/framework. This is the most likely situation of the guy whose post I responded to.

The exception to the rule is, if you have been working quite a bit _recently_ on a specific language. You are presumably talking about this situation.
