one problem I suffer from, which I believe is probably universal, is that lots of mathematical vocabulary is overloaded; the worst offender is obviously "normal", although even some concepts that have the same general implication in different fields [e.g. "linear"] are not identical.
the result is that false confidence happens often, because there is no completely unfamiliar term when sliding in to some discussion, only false friends.
