I bet you never miss a chance to correct people calling surimi sushi or pluralizing Japanese nouns and are also tons of fun at parties..

Sometimes using the colloquial term for something is about other people understanding without further explanation, not ignorance. You don't call velcro "hook and loop fastener" either, do you?
