Due to improvements in technology (interferometers, precision radial-velocity techniques, etc.), the traditional separation/period regimes of "wide" and "close" binaries are witnessing increasing overlap. This is expected to lead to increasing confusion in component identification when systems are studied using multiple techniques, since different observing techniques have adopted their own (often dissimilar) rules for designation of these components. A quick overview will be given of the Washington Multiplicity Catalog, an effort to mitigate this confusion by creating a common nomenclature scheme for all types of stellar and sub-stellar companions.
