I'll use common names in conversation, but I prefer taxonomic naming when labeling things. Some things have no common names, some have many, and some share common names with other things. to me that's reason to avoid them for identification
That's always fun.
"Hey, check out this binomial name!"
"Uh, can I get that in English?"
"...... I dunno"
I may or may not have a tray of some Plectranthus amboinicus that has a different common name on each plant... Cuban oregano, Mexican mint, Spanish thyme, Indian borage, Caribbean oregano, broadleaf thyme, and all the same plants!
