I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I’m surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I’m prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I’m the only one.

That particular thing is a hoodie. Without the hood it’s a jacket. Without a zip (as in, it goes over your head to put it on) it’s a jumper. I think sweatshirt is an American word
Sounds like it!

EDIT: I never really thought about the word until now, realized that it’s a portmanteau of “sweater” and “shirt”.
I just call a hoodie without a zipper a pullover hoodie.
Ah yeah, I mean that without a hood and zip it’s a jumper. With a hood and no zip it’s a hoodie
