Very true. And there is a reason why we use the words "season" and "series" specifically here at Tardis. I won't venture to tell you exactly why myself, as I might give you wrong information, but I can tell you it's not entirely arbitrary. Most obviously, of course, we simply needed a way to easily distinguish between series 1 and season 1, and so on. The season/series divide, as I understand it, was already one which was in use, if not consistently than at least often enough that it would have been understood.
