You are, of course, perfectly free to use any term you like for a reference to anything. English does indeed have a rich history of borrowings and has as a consequence of its adaptability to technology become a world standard. It has also become a morass of near unintelligible utterances by the less than well educated that also has a rich tradition in English. If you decide to employ a term for a particular thing that was generated by the obviously ignorant and promulgated by much the same then you deny the precision and elegance afforded by what may be the finest linguistic tool currently available.
Considering the lowest common denominator goal of education in the US for the last several decades, I find myself not surprised at the content of the discourse here.
I apologize for the brevity of this post, but I have things to do that are actually important - - - biatch
