I hope this is the right section of the forums to ask this...

Is:
Code:
procedure (x)
... "x" called argument or parameter? Or both? Or is it the way you look at the procedure?

If you look at C there is always "argc", "argv",... so i assume it's an argument. But some people in these forums say it's a parameter.

VB (description of Command$() Function): "Returns the argument portion of the command line."

I'm just a bit confused cause English isn't my "default" language

And when i need to mention it i'm always asking myself - is it argument or parameter? Will the one i'm talking to understand me?

For info - i prefer the term argument. Parameter seems more like a property.
