Can we please say "on their intranet" instead of the misleading "cloud" buzzword? (FWIW Googlers call it the "intranet" too.)

Can we please say "on their network" instead? That's a perfectly good word that already means "not the whole internet", and we don't need another.

"Intranet" is a pretty standard and inoffensive term for a company-wide network, isn't it?

I didn't mean to tread on your experience. I should have said "in my experience, Googlers call it the intranet."
