Kind of a funny story...to me anyway...

I was talking to the wonderful Ms. Bonnie Heather Greene about a kilt that she is making for me. I have to say, I absolutely adore her work. While discussing a variety of details, the topic of pleating options came up. I took the time to ask my wife what she thought about the difference between a box pleat and knife pleats. Her response, "I'll have to google what that means."

It got me to thinking, because we discuss at great length the most minute details of our kilts, do we loose track of where the "normal" person's knowledge is exceeded? I just assumed my wife knew the difference. However to her, the pleats are just pleats.

Anyone else notice this or something similar?
