Staggered Lingo Unification

We waste a lot of time getting confused with terms like "lateral", "normal", "parallel", "staggered", "sub-", "frontal", "tangential", and there are of course a few remaining. Many of these terms actually refer to the same thing. It would be nice to have rules for when each of these words is used, and to unify their use within the staggered discretization and the freeflow models. Is this possible?
