I have never seen a good explanation of the difference between "parameters" or "arguments" when passing data to functions, but "arguments" seems equally as good. I just felt that the term "references to generic functions" does sound confusing since references must refer to something and the terminology makes it sound like it refers to generic functions rather than the types of data one passes to generic functions.
Alwais keep in mind following: parameter comes from term "formal parameter" argument comes from term "actual argument" Gennadiy
