(some) Doc calls regular entries (A, CNAME etc) subdomains (incorrectly) #25798

Description

Example URL(s)

https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/manage-dns-records/how-to/create-subdomain/

Actual Behavior

calling "blog.example.com" and "www" subdomains

Expected Behavior

This is talking about adding entries or names into one's domain/zone not "subdomain"
(it's correct terminology in https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/subdomain-setup/ and https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/manage-dns-records/how-to/subdomains-outside-cloudflare/#delegate-a-subdomain-outgoing )

I think it's a disservice to call a cat a dog even with the intention of simplifying

Call it entries, names not subdomains or put at least a footnote explaining subdomain isn't actually the right term for these
