Long ago I was told 'mainframe' people need to learn the business lingo. In my 
current role I no longer apply PTFs to the system, I apply patches. just the 
same lingo as the server people. PTFs cause a glazed look on auditors eyes in 
some shops, but they know what patches are. 

In the Navy I was an 'Operations Specialist', fancy title for Radar Operator on 
a computer based system. We were using a track ball in 1974!
