First off, I KNOW who you fly for.
Secondly, because of your tertiary statement you DON'T need to PM me, your final statement makes it clear you know exactly what I'm talking about.
But I'm not talking just about those types of things. I have more than one occasion recently where the person I was flying with for some reason didn't know what the difference between Transition Level, and Transition Altitude was. Usually, not that big of deal. But when your climbing out, and the clearance limit is "one eight thousand feet", and you actually reach 18,000 feet before being cleared for higher due to traffic, it can become a big deal. Remember, we've been going down there for YEARS, and we even receive training for ops down there.

Exactly, won't be too long before the general public forgets all about it.
