Yeah it always bothered me that they're saying "concurrency is not concurrency".

I'm going to start using "multitasking" instead. That's so much better. Who's with me?

I will typically use the terms asynchronous and parallel when discussing the concepts, but I hadn't thought about using multitasking until I saw that comment. I mean, even C# calls them "tasks".
