You are correct that when an individaul claims a hypo to be co-dominant or dominant they are infact incorrectly using the terms. Additionally you tried to explain the true meaning corresponding to the incorrect usage but if one did not have a good understanding of genetics you could just be confusing them more.



better explanation for what you said:



Co-dominant Hypo (incorrect) = Heterozygous Hypo (correct)

Dominant Hypo (incorrect) = Homozygous Hypo (correct)



As a note, the above is ment to understand what a person is talking about when they incorrectly use the genetic terms. To clarify things the globaly accepted correct terms should be used.
