I would normally let this go, but I really dislike the holier than thou attitude with your "bastardization of language". Computer Science and mathematics would be much poorer if it didn't allow for people to generalize concepts. So let's get started.
1) Streams branch and merge all the time.

If anyone's bastardizing the language, it's computer scientists being overly restrictive with their allusions.

"But please, let's not call it a stream."

It turns out that "Let's don't" has arrived in that grey area between grammatically right and wrong where many consider it just non-standard, but not wrong: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/let%27s http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/let%27s What I find really interesting is that in British English, it's "Don't let's." How does that happen? But we digress.
