One use of misleading or foggy language that has always bothered me is the use of "keyword" to refer to an entire cluster of words someone types into a search engine.

The term "keyphrase" is available, and seems much less confusing, but I must the the only one this bothers. Many people refer to trying to rank for their "keyword" when they are actually thinking about a phrase like "Home Mortgage Loans" or "Cheap Hotels in San Francisco".
