You don't like it? What you gonna do about it?

Argue! If there are good reasons for using a word in one way & not in another, maybe some people will be persuaded by those reasons. Even if that's not going to happen, I think it's worth stating an unpopular position for the sake of anyone out there who holds it or is leaning that way. At the very least, it doesn't do anyone else any harm to read what I think (I try and keep it civil), and it gets it off my chest.

In any case, I'm not going to be persuaded by an argument that starts and ends with "that's not how most people use the word now". I know that - that's where we're all starting from.
