Some programmers make a liberal use of "passing by reference" (v. "passing by value") a variable when referring to passing a pointer to it (v. its value) to a function. This is common language in a C environment, where there's also no pass by ref (quick example: [0]). I'm guilty of this myself. It's possible that this may create confusion to other people more familiar with, for example, the C++ concept of passing by reference which is passing an actual reference (v. "passing a pointer").
