Nicely stated, and /agreed.
My main peeve is that a render is when 'you' create something original, and it is represented in a 3D environment. The term predates 3D Studio Max, where you would 'render' an object after you finished designing it. It by no means is defined, anywhere, as the act of 'cutting out' a picture, or any sort of 2D object.
I learned photoshop from text on up, not the other way around, and grunge brushes get really old after maybe 1-2 pieces of work.
