On the other hand, if you use the term "JVM Recorder" while everyone else is using the correct name "Flight Recorder", you're now forcing everyone to use non-standard language just for your benefit. Far too often I hear people argue "it's not in the cloud, it's on a server" which makes people think it's hosted on-prem on a server that we own and control and maintain, but it's not. It's on someone else's network, on someone else's server, a server that they own and control and perform the maintenance for. But that's a really long winded response, so luckily we agreed on a single word to represent that concept: cloud. Like it or not, words have meanings and those meanings have definitions. If someone isn't likely to understand the word, explain it using its definition. Don't just unilaterally switch to a completely different word. My CEO might not know what "serverless" means, but once I explain it using its commonly accepted definition she can now read the commonly accepted word in a trade magazine and understand what they're talking about. Otherwise she'd never know to link the word to its definition. That's the basic concept of language.
