Here’s a good example of this that I ran into recently: I was searching for software to display pictures as post/page content on my static Jekyll website with automatic handling of thumbnails, multiple type conversion (e.g. to WebP), and all that fun stuff. What I found was a fairly even split between people who call them “pictures”, people who call them “photos”, and people who call them “images”, and in a way that seems like the three groups rarely cross-pollinate!

I ended up disliking all the software I found and wrote my own (as one does), but then when it came time for a README i made sure to use all those terms and even provide links to the other projects I found in case those links help somebody who ends up preferring one of them to mine: https://github.com/okeeblow/DistorteD
