ERDs and UML diagrams are used, but few people inside the industry could really tell you how to use them properly ...
The best analogy I could use is imagine that the ERDs and UML they teach you in school is old English and the ERDs and UML that most developers use regularly is gansta-slang. Most often you use and ERD or UML diagram to white-board an idea, and almost all of the detail that they teach you in school is left out of the diagrams.
