Yeah I searched for the definitions not some blog posts bruh. Are those the original definitions you were talking about?
Of course "Hard drive" can refer to other things. It's just incorrect in the same way refering to a SSD as a HDD is wrong. Wikipedia is just helpful.
Yeah, because you are wrong mate. Just teach people the corrent terms instead. It isn't hard. It's literally 3 letters. People use the wrong terms all the time and that's obviusly fine when you were a kid, but don't spread it into the modern age.
