A visual diagramming of an example might help (like diagramming a sentence in English).\r\n\r\nFor example, when a developer says \"the reduce callback\" what they typically mean is \"the reduce method\", but what I hear is \"the function the reduce method receives as the first argument\".\r\n\r\n```js\r\n[1,2,3].reduce((a, b) => { return a + b; });\r\n//        ^---- referred to as callback, therefor:\r\n//        when we say callbacks are \"arguments to functions\" they get confused\r\n```"}}
