In almost everything there is the scientific or technical definition of the term, and then there is common parlance. People will never know the technical terms, just accept that because all you're accomplishing is being pedantic.
How basic of terms should we give up on? Inflation is not a difficult concept. I would barely call it a technical term.
Let me know if you stop people from using the word theory incorrectly. That's only been going on for centuries, surely we'll educate everyone any day!
You jest, but seriously, inflation is not that hard to understand. You apparently have a very low threshold for calling something pedantic.
You are going to be sorely disappointed by the world.
Fear not, I already am.
