I typically call them folders when going through the GUI and directories when using CLI.

I never realized I subconsciously did this until your pointing it out. Huh. Thanks for that insight I suppose, haha

well it sorta just makes sense, the gui presents it as a folder, you can move things around in it like a folder, conceptually it presents them in a way to make you think they are physical things stored in a physical folder/box. cli it really just feels like you are using a string of characters indicating the desired file, it feels more like a directory that way, even if it always really is that way, just showcased differently in the gui.

brain doing brainy things, strings/lines vs pictures/labels

Exactly my thoughts.

This is a fact.

To move a folder (gui), you just do it. To move a directory (cli) you have to implicitly say you want the contents too.
