Writing Group / Re: Suggested Writing Excuses topic...

I've written action, and kind of enjoyed it. I discovered that the movies and TV I've seen really have an effect on what I write.
The thing I would love to hear explored is POV. When I was in school, it was Point of View, and described who in a paragraph is moving or talking or thinking. But now when I write things and take them to my writing group, or have criticism from someone else, they seem to be using the term differently than I understand.
Have things changed? Does POV mean something different, or more than it used to? Up to now, when I get critiques about POV, I don't fully understand what they are trying to get me to fix. I feel like I felt in 8th grade when I first encountered Algebra. None of it makes sense yet.
