I've had this problem with team vocabulary. Once one word gets used to describe 2 or more things it becomes impossible to roll back.
I tried banning a particular word once and coming up with 6 new words on the basis that you couldnt tell which of the 6 meanings somebody was using unless you used a different term for each one. That didnt work very well. People got too attached to the old, overloaded term.
Expecting an entire industry to stop using a term theyve become used to is not realistic.
