That is nitpicking.

 
I used the terminology adequately and let a note in the post where I
made that use, and the post was precisely about something that also
was likely to affect terminals.
 
Calling this "nitpicking" is maybe going a bit too far.  Maybe I
should have moved the note out of the signature block,

Small tip.  Don't add "clarifying notes" to your signature block.  Sig
blocks are largely ignored (either by never being shown in the first
place by reader desire -- or by being skipped over unread).

but still...  if it gets filed under that no matter whether the
person actually did try to make the meaning clearer, people may feel
tempted to just drop any effort to clarify things in communication.
