Not really, more ... losing track. I've had to invent things in the story and so, invent names for them and as I get further along the storyline, I lose track of what I've called it before. In real life, his isn't such a big deal - we all have several names for most things in the house, but in fiction, you have to make it clear and be consistent, so, for example, the vehicle based on bio-interface is called an S-cycle or a slicker, but the fabric computer that just sticks to the palm, well, that's been a whole bunch of things.
Then I have to remind myself it's just a first draft, and it can all be cleaned up later :)
