Not gonna happen. People who use technology from its earliest stages tend to stick to original words for things. To the end of his life Orville Wright spelled his invention "aeroplane." That is more technically accurate but everyone else in the U.S. soon called it an "airplane." Winston Churchill used all kinds of obsolete words, such "musket" for "rifle." (That was technically inaccurate; muskets are smooth bore but rifles are rifled.) - Jed
