I have another piece on flooring terminology, and this may be the biggest one people toss around: 'subfloor'.   It's a must to understand, so it gets its own article (linked below)/episode.  Definitely listen to this one if the word subfloor makes you scratch your head, and I even recommend looking at the written piece.  I put a lot of helpful pictures there:

When this question is posed, usually we're talking about a household that is more active than other households, likely one with older kids and/or pets. We're also talking about the common living areas, because in kitchens, bathrooms and similar rooms, the household makeup is less of a factor than are the room's uses and moisture issues.
