I was telling a coworker of mine, who works primarily with algebraic number fields, how it took me quite awhile to adjust to using the phrase ``ideal of the algebraic number field." He had the "I don't get it" look plastered across his face until I reminded him that fields only have two ideals and that what we were referencing were actually ideals of the ring of integers within the algebraic number field.
You reminded me I was at a talk where I was asking a question about Aut(G) (which is the automorphism group of G), but the speaker kept hearing "odd G" instead of "aut G."
