I have 4 parts drawers marked 1N4004, 1N5819, 1N4148 and BAT85, into which anything can go as long as it's not confusing (ie, a Zener). Another for bridges, another for "SR"s (Schottky rectifiers aka SMPS diodes), and some random round ball types I pulled from some old band printer board I gas torched apart once. EPROMs near the 1N4148s in hindsight possibly because they're glass and you can see the chips inside.
The extent of my nomenclature accuracy is probably calling them "diode" and "BAT", along with various colleagues who would say the same things. 'The wider experience' doesn't seem to be much different!
I think my recent surprise problem with "silicon" is that most semiconductor diodes are made of that (except LEDs maybe), and similarly for "junction" (unless it has a vacuum, or mercury perhaps). "PN" has a nice alignment with "PIN". "Ordinary" sounds a bit potentially insulting and could make said diode feel upset, assuming the electrical ReLU function gives it enough AI smarts to feel slighted.
I think I'm happiest knowing that "not knowing" is kind of universal. So not only do I not need to remember anything, I can forget and be hypothetically happy I don't know!
