I'm a scientist who works with control theory (adaptive optics) rather a lot and I still get "positive feedback" and "negative feedback" confused when I'm giving talks.

"exacerbating" and "ameliorating" feedback for problems; "amplifying" and "attenuating" feedback in general. I have avoided "positive" and "negative" feedback for a long time. It's not hard to do.
