In my experience, arguments based on vocabulary use go absolutely nowhere with the vast majority of people. Few people analyze their vocabulary, and even fewer care. To try to force a vocabulary change to instill a new perspective is putting the cart in front of a horse and expecting it to follow. Would it not be better to point out a new perspective and see if the vocabulary follows?
