Just because a misconception is popular doesn't mean we should indulge it. :)
Think of it as a public service, if you make an effort to say "/24", and someone asks and you explain it, thats one less confused person circulating around teaching others.
Think of it as a service towards your own future, too. An awful lot of the new protocols and services arise out of college environments, and hence the proliferation of protocols that work fine in a campus network but somehow just don't fly in the "real" world.
