Not sure why the downvotes, it's largely true. Almost every non-techie I encounter in real life incorrectly uses the term "memory" to mean storage space.
Is it really that incorrect? Flash memory is persistent storage. Memory cards used to be how game saves were stored on consoles. The M in ROM stands for memory.
So it seems like we're using the term memory too narrowly, rather than them using it incorrectly.
