Which I why I hate that wording, because that means "divide b into a" is equivalent to "divide a into b parts". And that's just confusing.

It feels to me as though far too much of any given field uses redundant (the same concept expressed lots of different ways) or misleading (something made to sound far more complicated than it actually is) terminology and causes unnecessary amounts of confusion among anyone trying to learn it.
