Well durruk (you don't mind me calling you durruck do you? Derek would just
seen so snobby) here is my take on the situation.

It is because most of those terms do have a single meaning. This morning I
drove through some deep water across the road. But my car is still a car,
not a boat.

The problem is that many people are too damned lazy to re-name a product and
want to hop aboard the popularity of an existing product no matter how much
they vary it. These are often the same whacko's that perpetrate political
correctness in speech, We can (and should) now call a rose by any other
name. A dead rose is now color impaired.

Nope, not food snobs, but people that actually learn and use the proper
names for different dishes. But we do appreciate your thoughts, Mr. Lions.
