Big Concept ACK. I've participated in several Bitcoin developer education programs over the past few years and have noticed that a consistent stumbling block for students is reconciling the different terms used in blogs, transcripts, mailing list posts, etc.
Having a reference document like this to include early in the curriculum(s) will help reduce cognitive load. In particular, I'd like to highlight the importance of the "synonyms" field: since we can't retroactively re-write materials using different terms, having the synonyms will help map various resources to a shared terminology. Thanks for working on this!
