Agreed always bugged me too. We have both a .NET library and a web API product, and I still can't tell when customers refer to our API, whether they mean the library or the web API. It's another case where everybody has their own opinion/meaning for the same words/abbreviations. But originally, API started off as the "Application Programming Interface" and then was hijacked by the web hype.
