‘Screen Shot’
Why does everyone call this something different? Screen Capture, Screen Dump, Screen Flash, Screen Save, Print Screen, Frame Capture….
Is there a definitive REAL definition for this function of a personal computer?
Why does everyone call it something different? It’s like an accent of IT literate speech. Well my accent is ’screen shot’ hence the title… whats yours?
I use “Screen Shot” as well
As do I. Can’t imagine anyone actually calling it a “screen flash”, never heard that one before.
I would say I use screen shot but it’s probably not true. I’m sure I say “just do a print screen of that” from time to time.
Screen capture depends to be the dominant term used for capping TV shows, movies, etc so that probably permiates into the discourse as well.
