There's a difference between "everyday things" and technical professionals
talking to each others about a specific problem area - where using the
wrong term is just *wrong*.

Of course these people out there call everything a "DSL modem" nowadays,
but does that mean we should be sloppy in a very targeted discussion 
about ethernet things?  I say "no".
