Most people will get the idea that subfolders could be the culprit.  That's
going to generate less helpdesk problems than a word someone doesn't know.

...Having had to fix many error messages of my own that confused me, even
though I wrote them to be specific about the problem. I ended up giving up
and using ID#s so that people just reported the ID# and didn't write us
confused about the text.
