> They use the words WiFi (or, as we say in Germany, WLAN) and "Internet" almost interchangeably.

I was helping our neighbor with WiFi issues. They asked at some point if a "WLAN-Kabel" would solve the issue :)

The sad part is that they realized the mistake a minute later, and since I didn't say anything but just answered the question (I understood what they meant, no point correcting the technicality), they assumed that I was just laughing at them behind their back / internally. Turns out once again that tech is as much social as it is technical, and I really struggle with people who think everyone else is hiding something (they vote accordingly, let's say)
