Narrative:
Clear of all runways. Ground control cleared us to taxi to gate via 'inner taxiway.' we have no such designation on our chart. Departing stl on flight, ground control advised us to taxi via 'inner ramp.' in both cases, ground wanted us to taxi on what shows on our chart as taxiway D. Ground control should use standardized terminology that equates to depictions on charts.
