Do you know that in most European countries, including mine, most companies don't use those hanging folders like in USA? 12 years ago, when in my country was communism, the people didn't even know what are those folded cardboards with 2 metal supports for hanging. I have worked in stationery, and I know what are the differences between a folder and other methods of storing data. I also know that an intelligent guy named the directory as "directory" for a computer a few tens of years ago, but I don't care about that. If I say folder, do you understand me? If you do, why care to say a longer word just to please some intelligent people that don't like to adopt easier things because they are not "correct."

It's not something on a hard drive. People using Windows terminology sound incredibly foolish as if they are flaunting the fact that they know nothing about their computers. Many really don't, but, of course, many, such as you, do.
