The entire topic of categorization is going to require some learning in order to make use of it. If there are default profiles, as has recently been discussed, which have already set up a default vocabulary as a "tagging" vocabulary, then the needs of the beginning blogger has been taken care of. Anything complex, users are going to need to read a bit, or play around for a while, to figure out -- so what is the extra minute to realize that a vocabulary is a collection of terms?
(If people can't stand the word "vocabulary", why not "dictionary", which is also a collection of terms?)
When I explain taxonomy to a blogger, I say it's Drupal's term for tagging, and they light up with understanding. Coming from a blogger perspective, renaming everything to tagger.module might make the most sense. Dictionaries have definitions whereas what we're discussing here is just a list of terms.
