A lot of people refer to any three of a kind as trips, but some nit-pickers insist that the term "trips" should only refer to 3 of a kind when you have one of the cards in your hand and two on the board.
I imagine the poster's point was that he should called it a "set."
Whatever . . . Doesn't seem like something to get all hot and bothered about.

Uh yes it is. The differentiation between a "set" and "trips" is a fundamental of hold'em. If you cannot grasp this concept, then you are an idiot.
If you have a straight, do you say "I have a flsuh"? No, its the exact same thing here.
Trips and sets are 2 completly different hands. Don't get it twisted.
