Can you separate words from the associations people have formed?

For example, I am a programmer by trade. When you say “table” I might think “HTML.” A carpenter might thing “furniture” and an actuary might think “risks.”

I could carefully explain to a carpenter what an HTML table is and how I use it, but the next day if somebody says “how can I make a table?” won’t they still think “assembling wood?”

By extension, no matter how carefully I explain what I mean by a question will some people just use their own associations to answer that question?
