I hate it when people use the phrase "Orders of Magnitude" incorrectly. Ok, yes I agree, more people know about botnets in 2009 than 2008. If I take 100 random people in 2008 maybe 2 could tell me what a botnet is. So in 2009 if, say, 6 people now know what a botnet is, that's not a single order of magnitude, let alone plural orders of magnitude. Say something like 300% growth or tripled or something.

Am I being a technical snob by getting annoyed when people misuse scientific terms to sound smart?

It doesn't always have to be a power of ten, for example, astronomical magnitude.
