I'm one of the few using "TLS", but it's hard.

When doing this, you see that some people feel that you are being pedantic.

And the biggest issue is that it creates confusion. During calls with customers, when I tell that we're going to setup their TLS certs, they reply, worried: "no, we need SSL certs!".

I see it as another chicken & egg situation: regular people don't know about TLS, and business are afraid of communicating about TLS because they don't want their customer going elsewhere because they don't understand what TLS is and want SSL

I went on Cloudflare to try and illustrate this, and it's... complicated https://www.cloudflare.com/application-services/products/ssl...

The path says SSL but most of the page it about TLS, unless sometimes it's SSL...
