Tell me if you are using "directories", "cabinets/drawers", "folders" or "collections/projects/groups/vaults" and I can tell about this person's technical background. :-)

		I use tables, columns and rows. Am I DBA, accountant, or data engineer?

It doesn't help that Windows has hid file extensions since 7.

		for executable files, unix has always been rid of file extensions. (please don't feel the need to point out how you can use more words to say more, that's always true, our goal here is to use less words, no need for extensions to that)
