Welding melts the base metal, while soldering just melts the metal connecting the materials. You weld steel plates, but solder PTH components to a PCB.

I don't think anyone is mistaking them, they are only mistaking the words in English.

In Spanish "soldar" covers soldering, brazing and welding. (From Latin "solidare"", to make solid, consolidate.)

Ah - thanks for that explanation.  Now I that understand where such usage stems from, it won't irritate me as much.  (I admit it.  My skills in languages other than English are pretty poor.)
