However you feel about it, the change is happening. People clearly don't think the ambiguity is as problematic as you do.

- blattimwind 9y agoWhat makes you say that? Neither is it inevitable, nor do people not care, as is evident by that literally every time an article using this term the wrong way is posted, people will post clarifications what the article is actually about and express their annoyance regarding the issue. Clearly, people do actually care about others trying to coopt well-established language for their often fishy schemes.
- salvar 9y agoYes, a small number of people do care about this -- how many comments are these compared to the ones that are discussing the topic itself? All I'm saying is: If you're going to try to tell people to not change the language as people seem to want to change it, because you don't want the language to change, then prepare for complaining for a long time with no results.
