Agreed. If there's some meaningful distinction, then different words should be used. There is the small vagueness of what exactly is "used". So if you say "50GB used" what exactly does this mean? Because btrfs fi show regularly shows me two completely different used values and they're significantly different (in value) so while the word "used" may be applicable, what's missing is the "what".
