It's natural when those novice/casual users approach something that is new to them, but nothing invincible when they want to learn. The "TeX" ecosystem is not trivial, but I think that all, or almost all of us, understand each other when things like 'TeX/LaTeX code', 'TeX engine', 'LaTeX format', etc. are said. If the TeX language were somewhat self-contained and widely used outside of TeX, I would see OK that the language had its own name. But, since the TeX language is something that almost only TeX understands (roughly said), I think the economy wins here (IMHO). I don't see how we could improve everything by having half a dozen more exotic names. Best regards, Juan Manuel
